Score 89/100 · Stephen Tanzer, Vinous, May 2006

(15.8% alcohol) Full ruby-red. Roasted black raspberry and chocolate liqueur on the nose. Large-scaled, lush and fat, with dense, hugely sweet dark fruit and mineral flavors. Wonderfully silky, broad wine with a firm edge of acidity and rather soft tannins. But like a couple of these zins with alcohol in the 16% range, does it have enough flavor for its sheer size?

Score 87-89/100 · Drink 2005-2012, Robert Parker, Dec 2005

From alluvial soils, the 2004 Zinfandel Dogtown Vineyard exhibits a cooler climate elegance, and not quite the weight or muscle of its siblings. Readers looking for a restrained, delicate Zinfandel should check out this cuvee. It should drink well for 5-7 years. (Release date 11/06) Tel. (707) 963-0940; Fax (707) 963-8683
