2004 Tin Barn Dalraddy Vineyard  19.99 (10% off btc)

The Dalraddy Vineyard is located in the hills of the Chiles Valley area of Napa Valley. This 34 year-old vineyard is a perfect Zinfandel site. The old, head pruned vines have excellent sun exposure, are protected from the hot afternoon sun by the shady hillsides and have been farmed organically by the same man (Luis Renteria) for 30+ years!

"This Zinfandel is drinking beautifully right now. It is ripe and elegant with Cherry, Raspberry, white chocolate, clove, and coconut notes. The tannins are very mild and the finish is clean and refreshing."  93 points - Steve Rayman, B-21 Wine Company

2004 Terraces Zinfandel Napa Valley 24.99

Known officially as "The Terraces at Quarry Vineyards" and located in the eastern foothills of Rutherford, Quarry Vineyards was first settled as a homestead in the 1870s. In 1881, Charles Scheggia purchased the property and planted the first vines. Using stone quarried on the property, the old winery was completed in 1885. In 1920, the Werle family purchased the property for $10.00. For the next 72 years, they produced a field blend of Zinfandel grapes. The Crull family purchased the Werle property in 1993 and renamed it Quarry Vineyards in reference to its history as a working rock quarry.

"Concentrated fruit aromas of blackberries and boysenberries are well-supported by creamy, roasted vanilla and cocoa notes and are further lifted by hints of rich soils and black licorice. This one is full in body and nicely balanced across the palate without any resort to heaviness or over ripeness, and its long, rich flavors reach the finish fully intact even as youthful tannins make an expected appearance at the end. This is a most impressive Zinfandel, and while some will wish to enjoy it now, we would counsel that it be laid away for a few years." 93 points - Connoisseurs' Guide to California Wine, January 2007, 93SR

2005 Green & Red Zinfandel Chiles Mill Vineyard 27.99

"Green & Red Vineyard, named for its red iron soils veined with green serpentine, is located in the steep hills on the east side of Napa Valley. The planting was started in 1972 on ground originally in vineyards in the 1890's. Not that old in the scope of Zinfandel but still a very unique micro climate and the wines do have old vine feel and character.  The vineyard is located at elevations from 1000 to 1700 feet, overlooking upper Chiles Canyon and remnant walls of the grist mill built by pioneer J.B. Chiles.  These red hillside vineyards produce a vigorous, spicy black pepper and berried wine. There is elegance and grace here unique to Chiles Valley."  92 points, Steve Rayman, B-21 Wine Company

2003 Storybook Mountain Estate Zinfandel Mayacamas Range 27.99

Wines of forward fruit, supple balance and sensual promise. If the exuberance of youth is a key to your enjoyment of Zinfandel, this is your wine.

"The 2003 Zinfandel Mayacamas Range reveals a deep ruby/purple-tinged color, and an earthy, peppery nose with lusciously sweet black cherry and currant scents. A refined, elegant California Zinfandel with medium body, excellent purity, and sweet, well-integrated tannin. It should drink well for 5-7 years." 89 points - Robert Parker's The Wine Advocate, Issue 162

2005 Terraces Zinfandel Napa Valley 29.99

"Its richness, its underlying polish and the purity of its fruit run from start to finish without giving up any ground to excess. It is supple and remarkably well-balanced, and it promises to build upon its blackberry, cola, toast, creme brulee complexities for years to come." 94 points - Connoisseurs' Guide to California Wine, September 2007

2005 Ravenswood Zinfandel Dickerson Vineyard 29.99

"This has been one of my favorite Zinfandel sites for many years and I can still remember several magical bottles of 1990 that aged beautifully. The last one drank just a year or two ago. This vineyard is dry farmed, organically cultivated and harvested by hand. Robert Parker, Jr. once said about Dickerson Zinfandel 'I thought I was smelling 1959 Mouton Rothschild....amazing but true'. He labeled Dickerson 'the Heitz Martha's Vineyard of Zinfandel'. The Wall Street Journal acclaimed the 1992 'Best Zinfandel tasted in a decade'. Gourmet Magazine's Gerald Asher placed Dickerson Zinfandels 'now among the finest wines - regardless of variety - produced in California'." 95 points, Mark Stitt, B-21 B-21 Wine Company

2005 Elyse Zinfandel Korte Ranch Napa Valley  29.99 (10% off btc)

"The 2005 Korte Ranch Zinfandel is deep ruby/purple colored with aromas of wild red berries, roasted nuts and crème de cassis. On the palate, a long lasting finish follows flavors of fresh berry pie, plums and blackberry jam with just a touch of white pepper. This rich ripe Zinfandel is weighty on the palate, yet surprisingly keeps its balance in check. Pair with beef stew, ribs, barbecue or smoked meats." 93 points, Steve Rayman, B-21 Wine Company
