This is one of those old-style field blend types of wines, with some other varieties besides Zin. A big, tannic, juicy, fruity wine, potent in jammy blackberry, blueberry, currant, dark unsweetened chocolate, coffee and pepper flavors that cry out for gilled beef, poultry or pork.

A fine example of a certain style of Dry Creek Zin, this one shows the brambly, wild berry character of the variety. You’ll find cherries and wild berries, but also country herb notes of nettles, chamomile and sage, and a finish like cherry-infused coffee. The dry, tannic finish calls for grilled meat dishes.

This is Wine Guerilla’s most costly Zin and also their best, most Zinny one. It’s textbook Dry Creek Valley. Dry, rich and high in alcohol but balanced, it offers waves of grilled wild berry, mocha, red licorice, raisin, cinnamon and nutmeg flavors, wrapped into gorgeous tannins.

Too high and hot in alcohol, with dry Port flavors of blackberries and dark unsweetened chocolate, and a peppery finish.

This seriously good Zin shows off its ancient vineyard’s terroir as well as Dry Creek’s amenability for Zinfandel. Rich and complex, the wine is very spicy, flooding the mouth with creamy flavors of grilled red cherries, red currants, Fig Newton cookies, mocha and even a hint of sweet, char-broiled beefsteak. Now through 2012.

A good everyday Zinfandel whose full-bodied, spicy fruitiness will satisfy with barbecue. It’s a rugged, somewhat rustic wine with briary flavors of wild blackberries, leather, cola and pepper. Drink now.

The heat from high alcohol combines with Zinfandel’s natural pepperiness to produce a hot, high decibel mouthfeel. If you can get past that, you’ll find rich flavors of berries, currants and cocoa.

Super-ripe and dry, with raisin and Port flavors wrapped into 16.5% alcohol. It’s a good example of what it is, but certainly exceeds balance.

Shows lots of flashy, ripe Zin character, with a blast of wild berry, tobacco, currant, nettle and spice flavors. The tannins are a little rough-edged, calling for big, rich fare, like barbecue.

Sweet and soft, this Zin is drinkable now for its jammy black raspberry, cherry, currant and chocolate flavors. Suggests simple fare, like burgers or spaghetti with meatballs.
