06 Easton Amador County Zinfandel A Wine Enthusiast Best Buy: Easton’s basic Zin offers plenty of delicious pleasure. It’s a dry, smoothly tannic wine, packed with wild blackberry, mulberry, mocha and (believe it or not) ollallieberry flavors, which perhaps suggests a certain rural, old-fashioned quality.

06 Elyse Zinfandel, Korte Ranch Napa Valley Winery Notes: The 2006 Korte Ranch Zinfandel is deep ruby/purple colored with aromas of wild red berries, roasted nuts and crème de cassis.

"You don’t want to mix emotions up with a wine like that." Could Hemingway have anticipated Eric Ross Feeney Ranch Zinfandel?

07 Frog's Leap Napa Valley Zinfandel Winemaker's notes: The wide range of aromas and flavors in our 2007 Zinfandel can again be attributed to its “field blend” origin. Grown and sometimes co-fermented together the three varietals of this wine—Zinfandel, Petite sirah and Carignane—each play critical roles in defining the wine’s character. The Zin tastes of wild berries and briary fruit marked with a touch of spice, while the ‘Pets’ adds dark color and a weighty mid-palate leaving the Carignane to account for the bright acidity and slight earthiness. Dry farmed and organically grown, the wine never feels over-blown yet it is full of juicy flavors of cherry and boysenberry underlined with layers of earth and spice.	26.99	qty:
06 Girard Napa Valley Old Vine Zinfandel Winery notes: The 2006 vintage is full-bodied yet silky smooth wine, and presents a dark cherry-red color.

05 Grgich Hills Napa Valley Estate Grown Zinfandel This Zinfandel was aged in large oak casks so the flavors are well integrated but not overwhelmed by oak.

03 Kenwood Sonoma County Zinfandel "There’s an upfront taste of raisins in this dry wine, but it’s not distracting. Rather, it’s a seasoning to the blackberry, currant and plum flavors with their edge of sweet oak and spices.

07 Plungerhead Dry Creek Valley Old Vine Zinfandel Wine Maker's Notes: This wine is Big. Not for the timid wine drinker. The deep garnet coloring foreshadows the tone of this wine. The nose gives you Oak with a touch of vanilla and spice. Oak and tannin are predominant on your palette and the touch of blueberry gives this over-powering but a nice finish, that carries. "This wine is in one word: Potent. High alcohol content IS prevalent in both the scent and flavor. All in all this wine is young and will benefit from a little 'down time' in the rack. For now Plungerhead is a little tight but there is great Old Vine character lurking in the near future."	18.99	qty:
