Made in the Peachy Canyon style, this Zin, which contains some Petite Sirah, is very high in alcohol. It’s sweet, hot and soft. The blueberry, blackberry and chocolate flavors are almost in dessert wine territory, but it’s a very good example of its genre. — (5/1/2012) —88

Fruity and soft, this Zinfandel has flavors of raspberry and cherry pie filling, raspberry liqueur, chocolate and spices. It’s very high in alcohol, and hot, with a Porty sweetness. ——S.H.(3/1/2011)—— 87

Somewhat musty, with a sweaty sox smell that interferes with the fruit. The flavors are of sweet black currants, and acidity is quite soft. Drink now.——S.H.(2/1/2010)—— 83

Porty but dry, with raisin, stewed prune and caramel flavors that feel hot and astringent. Will have its fans.——S.H.(12/31/2008)—— 82
