The 1997 Zinfandel York Creek (95% Zinfandel and 5% Petite Sirah that weighs in at 15.3% alcohol) is a spice, earth, and licorice-scented wine with plenty of rustic tannin, a gritty texture, medium to full body, and deep, concentrated, muscular flavors. With an uncivilized tannin level and rusticity, it should be consumed over the next 5-6 years. Tel. (408) 867-3233
