The Wanted Zin

Robert Biale Vineyards

Black Chicken Napa Valley Zinfandel 2021

Just a lovely zin. For the price a great wine with a steak. Very forward and mouth filling, yet balanced. Just plain tasty. — 4 months ago

The Prisoner Wine Company

The Prisoner Napa Valley Zinfandel Blend 2021

Wow what a Blend. Bold and a glass-staining dark color! Every sip was savor worthy from beginning to end. While you could taste the Zin the other varietals came through as well. An excellent wine worth the price! — 5 months ago

Soft berry aroma. Soft pepper after a few seconds. Dark fruit and soft soft raspberry finish. An easy drinking zin! — 7 months ago

Bedrock Wine Co.

Old Vine Zinfandel 2020

Dark, moderately rich, brambly blackberry fruit mostly, very fresh and lively on palate, avoids the jammy, overripe notes that mar some Zins, seems quite youthful and capable of further development, my first Zin from Morgan T-P, very impressed!! (Drank MANY of his father’s Zins, dating back to the 1976 Vogelsong, his first!!) — 8 months ago

Cline Cellars

Ancient Vines Contra Costa County Zinfandel 2017

We enjoyed this Zin a lot. Tasting notes include all spice, floral, and strawberries. It’s potent with 15% alcohol. Paired well with dark chocolate and honey/garlic pork chops. — 5 years ago

Ridge Vineyards

Lytton Springs Dry Creek Valley Zinfandel Blend

Complex Zinfandel field blend, with nice interplay of flavors and textures—fruit, tannin, acid and earth, that evolves in the mouth. Perfumed and drinkable by itself. Fine example of Sonoma County Zin. Tasted the 2021 vintage at the winery. — 3 months ago

Storybook Mountain Vineyards

Mayacamas Range Napa Estate Zinfandel 2018

Truncated dinner party notes. This ‘18 is uncommonly open and friendly for a Storybook Zin, which typically take years to unfurl. Really nice ripe flavors and perfect balance. — 4 months ago

Less fruity than I'm used to in zin. But a good dinner wine. — 5 months ago

Broc Cellars

Vine Starr Sonoma County Zinfandel 2022

Had in Thanksgiving after dinner. Still the best wine broc makes. Wish he didn’t do so many other random wines that have no soul. This is amazing fruit, tastes like zin but so well balanced. It was like an aperitif to bridge dinner and dessert. — 6 months ago

Turley

Juvenile California Zinfandel 2021

Definitely needed a few hours to open this young Zin. Bright red fruits and spice box opening. The spice lingers and presents some mild acidity. Lengthy blue and red fruit finish. I'd wait 5 yrs on this. — 7 months ago

A. Rafanelli

Unfiltered Dry Creek Valley Zinfandel 2015

Excellent Zin with a ton of blackberries and some of those Zin brambles. Fully integrated with a long smooth finish. Not sure if drinking this earlier would have made the fruits brighter but still overall a very special wine. — 4 months ago

Quivira Vineyard and Winery

Dry Creek Valley Zinfandel 2018

Smooth when first opened with slight pepper taste as expected with a Zin. More acidic on 2nd day. Paired well with steak — 4 months ago

Turley

Old Vines California Zinfandel 2021

Dark reddish purple. Raspberry and red plum on the inviting nose. Echoed on the medium full palate which adds a swirl of vanilla oak. Incredibly smooth for 15.2 abv (no burn at all), and the medium acidity is just enough for a good food wine. Classic California Zin. Enjoy now through 2026 with burgers and roasts. — 5 months ago
