winemaker's notes:

A blend of 91% Zinfandel and 9% Petite Syrah.

Ruby red and purple in hue, this wine has aromas of ripe red fruit, with hints of sage, cinnamon and pepper. The fruit flavors flesh out on the palate, dominated by raspberry, boysenberry and red cherry, complemented by hints of nutmeg, rosemary and spice, for a classic varietal character. Soft, supple tannins create a firm, yet lush mouthfeel. With its bright fruit-forward flavor profile, this wine is created for immediate enjoyment.

critical acclaim:

"A fine Zinfandel, rich and briary, with wild forest flavors of black and blue berries, Asian spices, tangerine zest and smoky sandalwood. Full-bodied and dry, it’s nice now and for the next few years."

  Decent but not exceptional - 5/24/2010
I would not buy this wine again
Decent wine for the price, but the Artezin 06 Dry Creek Zin was much better for similar price. Try that one instead.

  Tried in restaurant... couldn't find at retail - 11/24/2009
I would buy this wine again
We had purchased this wine at J Alexander's restaurant, and really enjoyed it, but had not seen it anywhere in retail. When we saw it on wine.com, we immediately bought all the bottles they had in stock.

Kosher wine
Kosher
A Kosher wine begins like every other - as grapes on a vine. Once they reach the winery for crushing, the wine is under strict rabbinal supervision.
Screw Cap wine
Screw Cap
Many studies report and winemakers agree that screw caps protect wine better and preserve its flavor more effectively than cork. More importantly, screw caps eliminate cork taint caused by TCA, a compound which develops in a small percentage of corks and ruins the taste of wine.
