This lightweight Zin offers an interesting mix of spices, with hints of cocoa adding complexity to the finish.

A firm and fruity effort with some nice toasty elements. Precise and tangy, it offers some ripe berries and cranberries, and a pleasantly toasty finish.

Troon’s reserve is not all that different from the regular bottling. The color is a bit darker, and the tannins have been boosted. The fruit is compact and tightly wound.

Yes, that is the correct price. This Applegate Valley Zin might be considered the Turley of Oregon. The bottle alone must weigh several pounds. Concentrated raspberry and boysenberry fruit retains enough acid to keep it from becoming syrupy. The supremely oaky flavors carry streaks of Kahlua and dark chocolate. But the density that might balance the 16.5% percent alcohol just isn’t there.

Half Cabernet Sauvignon, half Syrah. It has a funky open, with scents of latex and rubber that open into bubblegum. Light and fruity in the mouth, it is surprisingly simple.

The 2003 version of the estate Zinfandel clocks in at just 15.5% alcohol, but carries a fair amount of volatile nail polish aromas. It is marinated in new oak—French, American, Hungarian—so that whisky barrel scents and flavors cover up any taste of the varietal fruit.
