This week’s collection highlights several of the region’s Zinfandels, including a few old vine bottlings, and all scored at least 90 points on Wine Spectator’s 100-point scale.

WS review: Sinewy and lean, yet appealingly rustic, with briary blueberry and cherry flavors that blend with notes of grilled sage and white pepper. Drink now through 2028. – T.F.
