Initial releases from this winery have all been interesting and well-made wines. The 1995 Zinfandel Old Vines is more open and one-dimensional than the 1995 Max Cuvee. This medium deep ruby-colored wine offers uncomplicated berry fruit in a medium-bodied, spicy, slightly rustic format. As in the Merlot, the tannin may be too elevated for the amount of sweet fruit. I would opt for drinking this wine over the near term (2-3 years).Tel. (707) 963-1534; Fax (707) 963-8620
