Baron Herzog Old Vine Zinfandel 2015
Baron Herzog Old Vine Zinfandel 2015This stuff is WAY better than it should be at this price. This is old school Zinfandel, with no lack of character or oomph (it’s 15% alcohol, fer cryin’ out loud!). Deep color, rich texture, and cherries, cranberries and black pepper on the nose. The vines are 50+ years old, so there’s a lot going on here. And it’s kosher! Go figure….

Lava Cap Zinfandel 2016
Lava Cap Zinfandel 2016Lava Cap was established in 1981 with the purchase of a 65 acre pear ranch that dated back to the 1860’s. This property, perched high above the deep canyon of the South Fork of the American River (not far from where gold was first discovered in 1848) at an elevation of 2,400 to 2,800 feet, is blessed with an abundance of water, excellent soil, and varied sun exposure.

Very much showing the richness inherent in Zinfandel sourced in the very old, sandy-soiled vineyards of Contra Costa County, this extremely outgoing effort is rife with juicy, berry-like fruit. It is a big, mouthfilling working that is both unctuous and balanced, and, while unabashedly ripe and marked by a palpable edge of finishing heat, it neatly avoids the pitfalls of chocolaty excess. There is assuredly nothing shy about it, and it begs pairing with appropriately rich foods, but, for other than those who simply have no use for full-throttle Zins, it is a deep and immensely satisfying wine. **Two Stars**

Succulent dark cherry, tobacco, spice, cedar and leather flesh out in the 2016 Zinfandel Oakley Road Vineyard. Expressive aromatics give the wine shape and expansiveness that is matched by the raciness of the sweet, pliant fruit. Exuberant and forward, with terrific depth and fine balance, the Zinfandel is a winner from Joel Peterson. (AG) (4/2018)
91 points Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate
From vines planted in the 1890s, the medium to deep garnet-purple colored 2016 Zinfandel Oakley Road Vineyard rocks up with an incredibly spicy nose of cloves, cinnamon stick and anise over a core of prunes, raisin cake and sandalwood with a waft of potpourri. Medium to full-bodied, the palate explodes with berry preserves and exotic spices notes, with a lively line and chewy tannins, finishing with lingering dried fruit nuances. (LPB) (6/2018)
Ridge Geyserville 2018
Ridge Geyserville 2018The Ridge Geyserville bottling has always been based on old vine Zinfandel combined with other red varieties planted in the same vineyard. It is as classic as any California wine gets, the sort of bottle you buy year in and year out to get a grasp on the vagaries of each vintage. Jeb Dunnuck wrote the following in his review of the 2018 Ridge Geyserville and gave the wine 95 points.
A wine that always delivers, the 2018 Geyserville from Ridge comes all from a single vineyard in the Alexander Valley and checks in as 68% Zinfandel, 20% Carignane, 10% Petite Sirah, and the rest Alicante Bouschet. It has a big, cedary bouquet of red and black plums, sandalwood, potpourri, and Asian spices that develops and fills out nicely with time in the glass. This carries to a more medium-bodied Zinfandel that has wonderful purity of fruit, present yet ripe tannins, flawless balance, and a great, great finish. This structured yet ethereal example of this cuvée ranks with the finest vintages to date. Drink it any time over the coming 10-15 years.
