High in alcohol, this is a hot, sweet Zinfandel, with simple, Porty flavors of raspberries, cherries and chocolate. If this is your style, enjoy. ——S.H.(12/1/2011)—— 83

Very ripe and plush, you might even say sexy. Caresses the palate with warmth and velvety softness, carrying flavors of blackberry pie, blueberry marmalade, melted milk chocolate, vanilla bean and lots of peppery spices.——S.H.(12/15/2009)—— 89

Tastes hot as a chile pepper, and no wonder. The alcohol is 15.8%. Some red wines get away with it, but this one doesn’t. The berry-cherry flavors are baked, and the wine is clumsy and inelegant.——S.H.(8/1/2008)—— 82

If you don’t like high alcohol you might want to stay away from this one, but you’d be missing a classic expression of Paso Robles Zinfandel. It’s soft, rich and complex in berry pie, coffee, root beer, tobacco, spice and chocolate flavors; very delicious. I think of drinking this with something off the barbecue, under a warm, starry summer night.——S.H.(6/1/2007)—— 88
