* Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012

Shows all the best character of a fine Alexander Valley Cab, in an easy manner to be opened now. Soft and a little herbal, the wine has blackberry, cherry and oak flavors. Possesses just enough complexity to stand with steaks and chops.

* Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012

Dry, tannic and concentrated, a fierce, almost feral wine, but it’s classic in the way of California mountain Zins. Floods the mouth with blackberry essence, wrapped into strong tannins and finishing with a crisp burst of acidity. Compelling and complex, it cries out for a rustic beef or pork dish, long simmered and well-seasoned.

A little hot and peppery, but it’s Sonoma Zin, and a chunk of grilled beef will be a great match to the heat and tannins. This drily robust wine has flavors of wild berries, cherries, bacon and Asian spices. Drink now.

Soft and gentle, this is a Zin to drink right now for its lush, exotic flavors. It’s dry, with dusty tannins and mouth-filling tastes of ripe crushed blackberries and cherries, baked into a pie and sprinkled with cocoa, cinnamon, nutmeg and black pepper, with a pinch of salt.
