Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Tastes like all of its constituent varieties, with a complex array of peaches, apricots, grapefruits, apples and figs. There’s good acidity and what seems to be some residual sweetness. I’d love to see this wine completely dry.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
This unusual blend is effusively fruity. You can find just about any flavor you want, but the cherries stand out. It’s also dryish-sweetish, with the accent on dry, and well-structured.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Rich, ripe and lush, this wine could only be from a warm climate in the New World. It’s super-fruity but dry, with smooth, intricate tannins. The flavors range from red cherries and succulent forest blackberries to mocha and cinnamon spice.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Fruit-forward and savory in peach, pineapple, apricot, melon and spice flavors, this blend of five varieties is mainly Sauvignon Blanc and Chardonnay, which gives it some nobility. It’s a dry, refreshing, friendly wine.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
If you like your Zins overtly sweet, this one’s for you. It’s soft and silky, with upfront blackberry, cherry, raspberry, cola and chocolate flavors. Almost sweet enough for a dessert wine.

Hop Kiln Zinfandel - 2004

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
A low-oak style brimming with green-apple and peach aromas and a touch of flinty stone. Ripe and fruity, uncomplicated by oak. A racy, sleek wine with a touch of earthiness from its terroir.

Fairly woody, with bright acidity and hints of cola, smoke, herb, black cherry and spice flavors. The finish is a tad short, with mild tannins.
