Made from two old-vine vineyards, this Zin is soft, high in alcohol, sweet in glycerine and fabulously rich in berry, chocolate, currant, licorice and dusty spice flavors. There’s nothing quite like it in the world. Drink it now with lusty barbecue or, for something different, Szechuan beef.——S.H.(5/1/2011)—— 90

A nice Zinfandel that’s dry and fruity, with briary, brambly blackberry, tobacco and spice flavors. It’s a clean, vibrant Zin, but a very tough, tannic one. Needs ultrarich fare to crack through the astringency.——S.H.(5/1/2010)—— 88

Exuberantly ripe, this Zin overpowers the palate with potent flavors of wild blackberries and cherries, crushed to a pulp and then sprinkled with cocoa, cinnamon, cassis, pepper and the essence of violets. It’s lip-smackingly good, and sweet on the finish. ——S.H.(2/1/2009)—— 90

The ripest of Bella’s current quartet of Zins, this two-vineyard blend has pie-fillling flavors of black currants, cherries and cocoa, with a raisiny edge and a spicy finish. Although it’s relatively low in alcohol, the wine finishes hot.——S.H.(3/1/2008)—— 87
