Claudia Springs Winery
2007 Claudia Springs Vassar Vineyard Zinfandel
Appellation: Redwood Valley
Claudia Springs Winery
(Navarro, CA)
--
(Winery Info & All Wines)
Winemaker: Bob Klindt
Very interesting on the nose, with layers of chocolate, eucalyptus and licorice giving the core of slightly jammy grippy and boysenberry fruit a slight medicinal edge. Lovely freshness and sapid acidity in the mouth gives this a seductive feel and, while the fruit is rich, it takes a bit of a second seat to the structural elements of the wine. The finish is all about sour red fruits and has great length to the cranberry and raspberry fruit tones ending on a very firm mineral tone.

2007 Claudia Springs Mendocino Zinfandel
Appellation: Mendocino County
Claudia Springs Winery
(Navarro, CA)

(Winery Info & All Wines)
Winemaker: Bob Klindt
We took three of our favorite vineyards and created this beautifully balanced wine. Valenti Ranch provides the core of black pepper, cedar and spice. The Vassar Vineyard gives it dusty tannins and cranberry while the Ricetti Vineyard provides black currant and cloves. A complex wine that that begs for a good steak!

Claudia Springs Winery
2007 Claudia Springs John Ricetti Vineyard Zinfandel
Appellation: Redwood Valley
Claudia Springs Winery
(Navarro, CA)
--
(Winery Info & All Wines)
Winemaker: Bob Klindt
Fairly intense aromas balance notes of forest floor, sweet black raspberry and black cherry fruit and gentle tones of wood spice. Really excellent balance on entry. This is a big wine, no doubt about it, but the balance really makes this deceivingly smooth and easy to drink. The mid-palate is dominated by classic brambly blackberry fruit with hints of pie tobacco, vanilla and nutmeg, and maybe even a hint of white pepper. The finish is clear and crisp with a long, fresh, black raspberry tone. Ve...

Trecini
2005 Rockpile Zinfandel

Appellation: Rockpile
Trecini
(Santa Rosa, CA)
--
(Winery Info & All Wines)
Winemaker: Dan Barwick
Imagine the tannins mellowing down over the next year and starting to reveal some of that famous Rockpile upfront fruit. The mouth feel and finish have to be tasted to be believed. The palate is a complex mix of spice, blueberry, blackberry, nice dense red fruit, and orchestrated dashes of oak and spice. Mid palate tannins are present followed by the rocky chalky tannins that last for quite a while. Even after you’re done you will experience mocha, dill, anise and a small hint of spicy plum. ...

RustRidge Winery
2003 Zinfandel
View Label
Appellation: Napa Valley
RustRidge Winery
(St. Helena, CA)
--
(Winery Info & All Wines)
Winemaker: Susan Meyer
The 2003 Estate Zinfandel embodies the definition of Zinfandel aromatics and flavors crafted in the classic claret style. Upon the initial pour, the eye is greeted with a deep garnet color and the nose with cocoa powder and bright raspberry. This medium bodied Zinfandel has an amazing framework of acidity, dusty tannins and a long, dry finish. As the wine begins to open, the tannins become silkier and the viscosity of the wine increases, eventually morphing into raspberry and cherry jam hedonism...
