Coming from the South Fork of the Trinity River, in the Sierra Foothills, this wine seems to reflect its rugged origins. It has a lusty appeal, with rich, thick tannins and bigtime cherry and pomegranate fruit, finished with chocolate, that leads to a dry, fruity finish.

Nice flavors of baked red cherries, cola, bacon and spice, and the finish is dry and clean. Lacks the acidity to make all this vibrant, though.

Simple and earthy, with semi-sweet, medicinal cherry flavors. Over-priced for what you get.

Ripe and fruity, bursting with blackberry and cherry jam flavors balanced with crisp acids and firm tannins, this is a nice, easy wine to enjoy with steaks and chops.

Made from mountain vineyards in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada, this is a tough, chewy Cabernet. It’s very dry, and robust tannins surround ripe blackberry fruit flavors. Good now, and should develop for a few years.

Trinity county is just north of Mendocino, with a hot, inland climate. This wine advances the fine wine cause up there. It’s a little soft, but juicy and dry, with ripe cherry, blackberry and cocoa flavors, and a complex note of sweet kid leather.

Some Zins can handle 15.4% alcohol, but this one’s Porty and sweet, with hot, stewed fruit and raisin flavors.

Soft and candied, like a blackberry, cherry and chocolate fruit power bar with roasted almonds. Drink now.
