We released this wine in April 2006, after it had about 8 months of bottle age. It is delicious in the short term, with a round creaminess in the mouthfeel and bright red berry fruit, but it will improve for at least 5 years from its release date. Try it with any BBQ, tomato sauces, spicy stuff like chipotle or Szechwan glazes on ribs, and it has a special affinity for game and duck.

Wine Spectator A classy Mendocino Zinfandel, ripe, firm and peppery, with excellent structure, acidity, focus and depth. Captures zesty, dusty wild berry, mineral, sage and earthy nuances and finishes with a dash of pepper. Drink now through 2009. 1,703 cases made. Score: 90. —James Laube, June 15, 2006.
