The 2006 Ancient Vines Zinfandel shows wonderful dusty raspberry, blackberry, white pepper and spice, with coffee and chocolate characters. Ripe fruit and soft tannins make this a mouth-coating rich vintage. Aging in new and used wood has lent this wine a subtle vanilla quality that nicely complements the explosive fruit notes. Enjoy now or cellar for 5 to 7 years.

Big and rather burly, this offers aromas of plum, licorice and spice, with rich blueberry, black pepper and tar flavors that build toward stout tannins. Best from 2008 through 2012.

The 2005 Zinfandel Windmill Old Vine is an excellent bargaind. Deep ruby-colored with loads of briery fruit interwoven with earth, pepper, and spice, this medium-bodied, pure, classic Zinfandel may be enjoyed over the next 1-2 years.

A good value is the 2006 7 Deadly Zins. It is a very good effort showing plenty of oak in addition to abundant varietal character in its briery, cherry, raspberry, earthy personality. It is meant to be consumed over the next several years.

The 2005 Zinfandel Amador, a blend of 10.4% Petite Sirah, 10% mixed blacks, and 79.6% Zinfandel, is an excellent wine offered at a bargain price. Ripe berry fruit intermixed with loamy soil, pepper, and garrigue scents are followed by a medium to full-bodied wine with no hard edges, good purity, and an attractive finish.

Its deep ruby color is accompanied by a finesse-styled nose of cherry and raspberry fruit interwoven with notions of incense, roasted herbs, new saddle leather, and licorice. Medium-bodied with excellent to outstanding concentration, and a dry, reasonably good finish, it will drink well for 3-4 years.

Offers simple cherry and herb notes, with underlying medicinal qualities. Drink now.

The 2004 Zinfandel La Storia is a dark ruby/purple-tinged, classic Zin with copious quantities of black cherries, raspberries, and currants intermixed with hints of spicy wood, heady alcohol (15%), enough acidity to provide definition and uplift, and a full-bodied, concentrated palate with no hard edges. Drink it over the next 3-5 years.
Parker - 91pts.

A seductive and vigorous Zinfandel, with smoky black cherry and blueberry aromas and youthful wild berry, sage and cracked pepper flavors that have a lingering finish and zesty tannins. Drink now through 2012.
