* Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012

The tannins are so ripe and sweet, so soft and intricate, in this decadently fruity, feminine wine. It has flavors of ripe blackberries, dusted with cocoa and sprinkled with tangerine zest. This is seriously good stuff, and impossible to resist.

* Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012

Good varietal character marks this plummy, peppery wine. It’s very ripe and fruity, with soft, unctuous tannins and enough acidity to offset the rich flavors. Finishes with a bite of tannin. Should improve in a year or two. —S.H.

* Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012

The 2000 Jack Rabbit was very good. This one, from a better vintage, is much better. It’s the perfect example of a mountain Zin that’s big and bold, with its pure flavors of cherry, mocha, raspberry tart, coffee, vanilla and dusty spices that flood the mouth, and finish with a tannic bite.

Rich and brawny, this Zin could come from no place but the Foothills. The big berry flavors and thick dusty tannins add kicks of alcohol and sweetness on the finish. You’ll either like it or you’ll find it cloying. —S.H.

* Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012

From a producer that’s shown a deft hand at this variety, a good interpretation at an everyday price. It’s balanced and even, with earthy, bitter cherry and herb flavors, and completely dry.

As big as Zin gets, displaying massive flavors of all sorts of wild forest berries, mocha, coffee and an array of oriental spices. The lush tannins are the perfect frame for all that flavor. Rather hot with alcohol on the finish.

* Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012

An extraordinarily good Zin that avoids too-high alcohol and residual sugar. The beautiful flavors range from blackberries and blueberries through sage, tobacco and pepper. The tannins are smooth as velvet, and the mouthfeel is rich and layered. —S.H.

* Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012

A big, galloping Zin, the kind that intense mountain sunshine has ripened to perfection. It’s huge in cherry, blackberry, sweet rhubarb and root beer flavors, and with gutsy tannins. Big in alcohol, too.

* Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012

This is the biggest, densest, most alcoholic and most tannic of Redwood’s ’01 Zins, and while it’s a very good wine, it does not possess the opulent hedonism of, say, Grandmère or Jack Rabbit. The cherry, blackberry and mocha flavors are less intense. A cellar candidate.

With a touch of raisins in the finish, this is a nice example of a Foothills Zin. It’s ripe, alcoholic, dry and rich, with Zinny flavors wrapped in sturdy but accessible tannins. There’s a long finish of black cherries and cocoa.
