The 2007 Zinfandel Old Vine (a selection from the oldest vineyards) reveals a dense ruby/purple-tinged color as well as a floral, blueberry and black raspberry-scented nose, a rich, full-bodied mouthfeel, and serious tannin in the background. Textured, rich, and long with considerable upside, it can be drunk now or cellared for a decade. Tel. (707) 433-3579; Fax (707) 433-0545

This is a very big, deeply flavored and densely concentrated wine. It’s so powerful, you might want to age it for a few years. As currently constructed it’s a massive juggernaut of blackberries, blueberries, coffee and sweet, smoky oak, finished with exotic spices.——S.H.(5/1/2010)—— 93
