winemaker's notes:
If you're big Into Zin! This is a classic, boldly styled Zinfandel, and is not for the faint of heart.
The Rancho Zabaco Dry Creek Valley Zinfandel is big and chewy with concentrated, explosive blackberry and boysenberry fruit flavors framed with spicy oak. For the ultimate "Zin-Fan", this wine is complete with huge black pepper spice and an impressive structure that carries it to a full finish. The 1999 vintage represents the third straight year of exceptional zinfandels from the award winning Dry Creek Valley, winning a Gold Medal at the 2002 San Francisco Chronicle Wine Competition. This Zin tames seasoned and grilled meats, while beef, lamb and heartier pork dishes provide the perfect match.

i really enjoyed this one... it was a full bodied wine with a rich, dark color and a great flavor that was well-matched with the spicy meal i served it with. i will get this one again.

I rave about this wine to my friends and they always love it when I turn them on to it. It's rich and full-bodied and fills your mouth with complex flavor, yet it has a smooth finish. It goes very well with many foods such as pasta/pizza, beef or chicken. Get a case (or two)for the holidays.

Was on a business trip to Seattle and had this wine with some king salmon. Excellent body and very tasty. Definitely worth a try.
