There’s an old fashioned quality to this Zin, good for washing down sausages, lamb, char-broiled beef, a savory roast chicken. There’s some overripeness, in the raisins and chocolatey Port, but in this case, it’s fine, just a quirky part of the wine’s likeable personality.

A bright, cheerful and very well-crafted Zinfandel that shows a deft touch at handling this variety’s challenges. Achieves thorough ripeness, with blackberry, black currant, cola and pepper flavors, even as the alcohol is kept moderate, and the finish is dry and smooth.

Perhaps the quintessential Dry Creek Cabernet. There’s a Zin-like briary, brambly feeling, and the blackberries have a strong herbal component, while the finish is awash in peppery spices. The tannins, too, are classic Dry Creek, furry and edgy. A lovely, well-structured wine that’s the opposite of the modern Napa style.
