Rustically structured, with a soft, scoury mouthfeel and rather sweet, jammy flavors of cherries, mocha and spices. Drink now.

* Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012

This is a brand from Hess Collection that specializes in Zinfandel. Crafted by Hess’ talented winemaker, Randle Johnson, it’s quite a good Zin, classic in its way, briary and brambly and spicy. Drinks deep and long in wild berry, pepper, licorice, Dr. Pepper and smoky flavors, and will be great with a steak.

Nice everyday Zin, a little simple, but likeable for its wealth of blueberry, cherry, mocha and Asian spice flavors. Finishes basically dry, with honeyed cherry pie filling.

Pretty brawny. It’s a tough, chewy wine, with searing acidity and strong tannins. Even with polished cherry, red currant and cola flavors, this wine is rustic. Drink with barbecue and rich Italian fare to cut through the dryness.

Some unripe notes of vegetables mar this otherwise likeable wine. It’s very dry and soft, with firm tannins and cherry, cocoa and cedar flavors.

A fine Zinfandel, rich and briary, with wild forest flavors of black and blue berries, Asian spices, tangerine zest and smoky sandalwood. Full-bodied and dry, it’s nice now and for the next few years.

* Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012

Shows plenty of Petite Sirah character in the dry, hard tannins and flavors of blackberries and pepper, while oak barrel aging adds a richer touch. Could be crisper and more complex, but a sound wine for drinking with barbecue.

* Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012

Here’s a deeply flavored, lusty young Zin that really shows off the variety’s briary personality, even though it hails from three different counties. Very rich in blackberries, mulberries and currants, it’s enormously spicy. Thoroughly enjoyable with barbecue and Mexican fare, like beef tacos.

* Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012

Known primarily for Zinfandel, this winery’s Petite Sirah is robust and full-bodied. It shows the rustic tannins that characterize the variety, with earthy flavors of blackberries and blueberries. Should develop bottle complexity for many years.
