2009 "The Muse" Zinfandel
Lush late summer blackberries, vanilla and oak in a balanced mouth watering flavor. It is supple, defiant, and waiting to be consumed. Its seductiveness is it's essence. Enormously pleasing. It trails out with the Dry Creek telltale white pepper finish. Technical notes

"Old Vine Zin for lovers of old-fashioned, ripe and rugged offerings ... those settings will let this bold effort come into its own." There are fewer than 100 cases left of this extraordinary Zin. One taste will change your mind about Zinfandel
2007 "Homecoming" Zinfandel
"Homecoming" exudes elegance, passion and attitude. Underneath its fruity exterior, you'll find exotic spices that reveal the esoteric origins of this varietal. Raspberry, cherry and blackberry flavors will flood your palate followed by spicy sensations. We added a barrel of Pet for structure.

"It's got classic Zin characteristics, with really juicy red fruit and some spicy peppery zest. It avoids going overboard in terms of heat or body, and I'd guess this is lightly oaked. There's nothing out of balance about this wine at all."
2006 Hales "Old Vine" Zinfandel
Hales is a Double-Gold winner that continues to impress with wonderfully bright raspberry and cherry fruit. That's followed by a velvety smooth dark plum and a hint of chocolate. It finish is a long lasting spicy crescendo. Each new taste reveals new unexpected flavors.
It's why we love Zin
"At the very head of the value pack, this very well-made Zinfandel hits all of the right varietal marks with sweet berries to spare. It is full bodied and supple with a slight bit of back palate tannins, and masks its scant heat with plenty of fruit and stays in balance from start to finish. Good Value."
