2005 Belle Canyon Zinfandel
Dry Creek Valley

Once again the 2005 Belle Canyon zinfandel delivers a winner with its intense red fruit flavors. On the nose, the wine is reminiscent of fresh strawberries. The flavors of cherry l ...moreiqueur, red raspberries, strawberries, cranberries and cola are complemented with hints of mocha and vanilla. The wine exhibits soft tannins and culminates in a long and silky finish. This wine will age gracefully for 6 to 8 years and will be well worth the wait.

2005 Zinfandel, Old Vine
Russian River Valley

Old Vine? Perhaps â€œAncient Vineâ€ is a better designation. This vineyard was planted in 1896 and Guy acquired it (it sits at the foot of his property) 100 years later. These old ...more-timers tend to ripen unevenly, so instead of harvesting both ripe and overripe fruit, Guy took the fanatical route and made several passes through the vineyard, picking only the perfectly ripe clusters each pass, over the 2 week period. The small lots were fermented separately and married together before going into his 2 and 3-year-old Pinot Noir barrels (no new oak to mask the amazing brambly, Old-Vine, brown spice flavors). The 2005 absolutely jumps out of the glass. The fresh raspberry aromas would make a perfume designer jealous! Fresh, juicy, forward fruit - The wine is medium-bodied and never heavy-handed, and you will find yourself at the bottom of your glass well before you know it. Better have 2 bottles on hand. It also grabbed top honors at the 2007 San Francisco Wine Competition this Spring!

2003 Fiddletown Zinfandel
Sierra Nevada Foothills

My brother Dick and I think the Grenache and Zinfandel he grows in Fiddletown make some of the most delicious wines weâ€™ve ever had. The rocky slopes of this vineyard are sun-dren ...moreched throughout the growing season, producing fully ripe, fully delicious grapes. Our 2002 Fiddletown Zinfandel is Zin at its best â€“ bursting with black berry sweetness and underlying peppery and cedar notes. Its tannins have power and structure, but they are soft and well balanced with the lush fruit. Itâ€™s a wine with layers and layers of flavors, a Zin to drink on its own with great pleasure. As a food wine, it is excellent with all kinds of tomato and barbecue sauces, and red meats from grilled hamburgers to filet mignon.

2005 Zinfandel
Lodi County

Hard by the sandy shores of the Sacramento-San Joaquin River delta, the agricultural town of Lodi is home to a lot of old Zinfandel vines. It's considered a warm region, but its lo ...morecation, directly in line with the Golden Gate, brings daily afternoon breezes that soften the summer temperatures. Combine this with ancient vines in alluvial soil where roots grow very deep, and you've got a formula for ripe, lush Zin that's also concentrated and intense. Soft, round, spicy and jammy with voluptuous overtones of plums and blueberries, this wine lives large â€” and irresistible â€” in the here and now.

2005 Zinfandel
Napa Valley

As Sonoma chauvinists, we admit that we sometimes evince a parochial attitude toward our primary rival. Occasionally, however, we're forced to recognize that there's a reason why N ...moreapa is America's most famous wine region. Case in point: Ravenswood Napa Valley Zinfandel, which displays the sort of savoire-faire associated with aristocracy. Combining a rich quotient of Napa's polished raspberry-cedar character with a tasteful amount of opulent French vanilla, this wine has the exquisite balance that comes with superior breeding. Would that all scions of the upper crust could bestow such beautiful harmony.

2005 Zinfandel
Sonoma County

It's been more than twenty years since we began blending fruit from our county's historic Zinfandel regions â€” chiefly Dry Creek and Sonoma Valleys â€” to create this stylish wine ...more, now considered our flagship bottling. Deep, dark, full and spicy, it exudes the power and complexity of its old-vine origins (including Carignane and Petite Sirah, Zinfandel's traditional field companions) but also brims with muscular balance and Zin's famous berry fruit, epitomizing the robust appeal of our favorite varietal. If you need to know why Sonoma County is renowned as the home of California's heritage grape, look no further.

2005 Zinfandel Teldeschi

Winemaker Joel Peterson has been sourcing grapes from the Teldeschi family since the 1970s. Some of the vines planted on this Dry Creek Valley ranch are 90 years old. Zinfandel w ...moreas Lorenzo Teldeschi's favorite, so most of the grapes grown are still Zin, but Carignane and Petite Sirah are also included in this classic Italian-Californian field blend. Dry Creek is renowned for its Zins and this robustly elegant, claret-like wine is one example why. Powerful and muscular, it's packed with rich black-fruit flavors, dense tannins and lively acid.

2004 Gambogi Ranch Zinfandel
Russian River Valley

Annchise Gambogi planted this 10-acre vineyard in 1909. Located within two miles of the winery, these old head-pruned vines are farmed without trellising and irrigation. The vines ...more produce intensely flavorful fruit from very low yields.

The grapes were hand-harvested on October 12th, 2004 at the peak of their maturity. In the cellar, the must was fermented in stainless steel tanks for 10 days. The wine was then aged for 9 months in American oak barrels.

Classic brambly aromas, raspberry, chocolate and spice mingle together in this rich and flavorful Zinfandel. Its big, firm structure accentuates vibrant fruit and oak. This elegant wine offers layers of complexity, firm tannins and a long finish. Enjoy with Spicy Lamb Stew with Black Pepper and Green Olives, Osso Buco with Tomatoes and Herbs.
