  Spicy, tangy and tart, this well-made wine is softly layered and complex—a moderate and balanced version of the variety that shows cranberry and red-cherry goodness dotted in cinnamon and black pepper.

  This impressive wine is succulent in delicious berry flavor that's been dipped in smoky leather. Supple firm tannin adds structure and strength, as a length of spice and tobacco plays palatable games on the finish.

  Earthy dried herb and truffle provide a rough-and-tumble point of view in this wine, a mix of complexity and contoured acidity. The shy, juicy red fruit is cradled in integrated oak.

  This producer always does a nice job with Zinfandel and this is no exception, a fairly-priced offering of fresh-picked blackberry, red berry and blueberry. Sanguine and leathery in the background, it's balanced, too, with a finish of black pepper.

  Brisk acidity, dried herbs, green olives, white pepper and minerals add complexity and earthiness to the raspberry, cherry and cola flavors of this Zin. It's dry on the finish, and stylish enough to accompany fine steaks and rich cheeses, with of course plenty of crusty bread.

  Classic Dry Creek Zin, tannic and filled with briary, brambly wild berry, currant, anise, leather, peppercorn and sandalwood flavors. Brings elegance to Zin's rustic personality. Great upscale barbecue wine, or try with a chicken or beef stew.

  Lots of ripe Zinny character in this wine, which is a blend of vineyards from throughout the valley. It's enormously rich in raspberry and cherry jam fruit, spiced with cinnamon, cloves and anise, and finished with sweet, smoky sandalwood.

  A very tasty, ripe Zinfandel, lush and forward with wild berry, tobacco, cocoa, pepper flavors and something animal-rich, almost livery, like foie gras. Finishes thoroughly dry, but too soft in structure. Would benefit from greater architectural firmness.
