2009 Eastern Exposures Zinfandel

" When at their best, this estate's wines are among the most carefully crafted Zins to be had, and this nicely tailored example makes just that point. It is keenly focused on ripe-berry fruit with complimentary highlights of sweet oak, briar, coffee and loam, and its combination of substance and structure only furthers the sense that studied winemaking is at work here. Its firm finishing tannins provide just the right grip to make us true believers in its future "

2008 Estate Reserve Zinfandel

"This is the most elegant of the winery's new Zinfandels, although elegant has to be taken in context when it comes to mountain fruit with this intensity and power. It's a big wine, with potent raspberry, cherry and blackberry fruit. Yet there's a delicacy to it, even considering the tannins, that's almost like a Pinot Noir, strange as that sounds. Earns its high score by virtue of this magic. Should age effortlessly throughout the decade."
