| NW-2000. 06 RAVENSWOOD TELDESCHI ZINFANDEL DCV Connoisseurs’ Guide 95 - THREE ROSETTES: ‘The mating of Teldeschi fruit with the Ravenswood hand has yielded superb results across the years, and 2006 is not exception. From its first nose of ripe, concentrated blackberries tinged with sweet spices to the background noes of soils, toast and toffee to its varietally compelling flavors firmed by tough yet fruit-buffered tannins, this one never lets up, but it does want time in the cellar to soften its age-demanding astringency.’ |
| How Many bottles/singles: 31.99 each |
| NW-2001. 05 RAVENSWOOD TELDESCHI ZINFANDEL DCV Connoisseurs’ Guide 95 - THREE ROSETTES: ‘With lots and lots of well-defined, optimally ripened blackberry and stone fruit notes leading the way in both its very deep, full-scaled aromas and wonderfully well-extracted flavors, this year’s Teldeschi hits all the right varietal marks. It is at once endowed with zesty acidity and palpable tannins, yet both of those pieces of the puzzle are appropriately buffered by plenty of real fruit at its very heart. The wine’s obvious richness may tempt some into early drinking, but this one is bound to get better and better if allowed three to five years in bottle.’ |

| NW-2003. 07 RIDGE LYTTON SPRINGS ZINFANDEL DCV Wine & Spirits 91: ‘This starts with the sweet richness of Dry Creek zin, with plush, candied red fruit that turns savory as tannins darken the wine into the finish. It ends with lovely briskness, a fine balance between the fruit sweetness and the tannin. With age, the earthy complexities of the wine should evolve.’ |

It’s classic, beautiful, wildly fruited zin, farmed to catch the cooler, morning sun and to hold onto its zest and elegance. Made to be transparent in color and incisive in flavor. Pure California in its memory of sage brush and desert heat. Delicious now, and likely to be more delicious 20 years from now, as Jerry Seps’s wines age with grace.’ |

This is also such a wine. It is perhaps not as dramatic in its intensity as some of its peers, but 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, toasty, creme brulee complexities for years to come.’ |

| How Many bottles/singles: 14.99 each |
| NW-2043. 06 GRAYSON ZINFANDEL CC Full, bright, rich melange of berry, currant, and–especially–ripe cherry marks this a good Paso cabernet. Paso power too, likely Eastside.

| NW-2055. 06 RIDGE ZINFANDEL PR Connoisseurs’ Guide 91 - TWO ROSETTES: ‘Ridge gets Paso Robles Zinfandel right with this wonderfully well-made wine that scores both in terms of its fruit focus and its fine balance. Its hints at late-harvest ripeness without ever going over the line, and it demonstrates a mannerly hand vis-a-vis tannin and heat. It s careful winemaking shows from beginning to end and, while tasty right now, the wine has the structure and depth to age nicely for a half-dozen years.’ |
