Leads off with spice, toast and vanilla notes. Cherry and berry flavors are also in evidence, though they are tempered by the tannins.——W.E.(11/1/2003)—— 85

I am a fan of most of this winery's products, but this Zinfandel is mediocre. The 1995 Zinfandel Paso Robles offers a distinctive earthy terroir character, but is frightfully hard, attenuated, and high in acidity. For a winery known for its ability to extract beautiful fruit from so many different varietals, Wild Horse somehow missed that objective with this effort.Tel. (805) 434-2541

I am a fan of most of this winery's products, but this Zinfandel is mediocre. The disappointing 1994 Zinfandel Cienga Valley is leafy and lean with abundant green pepper in the nose, but a shortage of ripe fruit. The high acidity and lack of glycerin only exacerbate the wine's fruit deficiency. Tel. (805) 434-2541
