Smells distinctively spicy, throwing off a huge bouquet of cinnamon, clove and nutmeg, along with apricots and honey. In the mouth, it is sweet and simple.

Clean, balanced and very drinkable, this Zin shows well-ripened cherry-berry flavors and smooth, rich tannins, and finishes dry. It’s an easy, assured wine that shows real Dry Creek character.

Tastes like one of those Aussie Chards, with big, flamboyant mango, papaya and guava flavors framed in crisp acidity. If there’s any oak, it’s not much. What you get in this bone-dry Chard is clean, pure, ripe Sonoma Chardonnay fruit.

Young, fresh and jammy, this Syrah might benefit from a year or two in the cellar. It’s dry and filled with blueberry, blackberry and cherry flavors, with a cut of dusty tannins. Good now with steak, or hold through 2007.

On the sugary-sweet side, with pastry-filling raspberry flavors generously spiced with cinnamon and vanilla. Finishes simple and fruity.

Rich in berry and herb flavors, this Zin has the crisp tannins and dry, brambly taste associated with the appellation. There’s a peppery edge to the sweet, wild blackberries and blueberries that really perks up the palate.

Its soft, gentle tannins, rich plummy, chocolatey flavors and long, spicy finish could only come from Alexander Valley. Perfect with a nice, juicy steak.

Black currants, cherries, chocolate, tobacco, coffee, cola and dusty Asian spices mark this dry, young Syrah. Turns a little rustic and thin on the finish, but the flavors are rich and interesting.

Here’s a Syrah that marches to the beat of its own drummer. Eschewing massive fruit, it shows a subtle, complex mélange of dried blackberries and bitter black cherries, olive tapenade, tobacco, dark unsweetened chocolate, leather and the white pepper of a fine Syrah. Drink this dramatic wine now and through 2011.

Don’t be scared by descriptors such as blood, raw meat and leather. It’s the best way to suggest the exotic aromas and flavors of this rich, dry wine. You’ll also find more familiar elements like cherries and red currants. It’s an elegant, smooth sipper that’s at its best now and through 2010.
