Dry Creek Zinfandel for Your Cellar

“Supreme concentration and great depth characterize this powerful, structured and ageworthy wine. It boasts luscious dried plums and dried blueberries, plus plenty of black pepper and light wood-smoke accents, all backed by firm tannins. Best from 2025-2035.” –Jim Gordon, Wine Enthusiast
