Sonoma County
Wine & Spirits - June 2011

“A powerful wine based on ripe, silken, savory tannin, this has plushness built right into its structure. The purple fruit is tense, held tight within a bit of reduction. Decant it for braised short ribs, or put a bottle away to see what it might become.”

"Tom Mackey and his team select their top three old-vine zinfandel sites for Tres Viejos."
This is a classic old-vine Zinfandel with aromas of black plum compote, cinnamon and cardamom. On the palate, blackberry, cedar, and sweet tobacco combine with a hint of clove.

St. Francis shows that there are plenty of good 2007 Zinfandels in the pipeline with Sonoma County Wild Oak Old Vines 2007, a zesty and slightly untamed red.
Briary aromas of black raspberry and cracked pepper lead to lively wild berry, anise and toasty sage flavors that finish with a hint of rustic tannins. Drink now through 2016. - T.F.

Enormously rich and ripe, with waves of blackberries, cherries, licorice, chocolate and cedary oak influences. Feels dry and lush in the mouth, but very tannic, giving a sandpapery astringency. You can drink it now with a good steak, but this Cab should develop through 2013, at least. - S.H.

Soft in texture, this Zin has flavors of freshly crushed, ripe blackberries, cherries and raspberries, cocoa and black pepper, with a burnt brown-butter, baked pastry crust edge. It’s pretty tannic, which makes it a good foil for rich meats and cheeses.

2003 Syrah, Sonoma Valley
Sonoma Valley
winereviewonline.com - May, 2006
Rated "91"
A deep black-ruby color, rimmed with bright purple, distinguishes this juicy Syrah. The aromas are deep-set ripe raspberry and subtle black pepper woodsy notes. There are ample tannins to support the fleshy bright berry flavors and despite the 14.8 percent alcohol this good-value wine shows no heat. As Sammy Davis once famously said, "If you don't like this, you don't like chicken on Sunday."

"This stunning dark-purple hunk opened up with a pungent molten core of dark cherry, blackberries covered in sumptuous chocolate and a minty undercurrent. The panelists were captivated by the "fruit-forward attack" that continued on the palate with flavors of dark fruit, cassis and caramel with spiced vanilla. Its finish ended slowly and majestically."

Medium-bodied with a “great backbone,” one panelist declared this inky purple wine as “pleasant and drinkable…It makes me want to jump in.” It had complex aromas of dark berries, dried fruits, cassis, black pepper, earth, vanilla and soy. “Smooth, but forceful and exciting” flavors of chocolate, spiced raspberry jam, baked cherries, dried apricot, cloves, vanilla and raisin faded into a woody, fruity finish with highlighted by clove, dried fruit, black cherry, vanilla and oak

With an opaque, ruby center that faded to a beautiful purple rim, this wine issued aromas of blackberry, chocolate, vanilla and oak. The panel praised its intense flavors of berry fruits, tobacco, berry jam and burnt cedar. Mouth filling and balanced, the wine’s finish left remnants of pepper, prune and vanilla on the finish.

Ripened to peach and roasted apple flavors, this is on its way to tropical but never crosses the line. The warmth of alcohol gives it a broad texture, while the fruit remains firm, ready for chicken tetrazzini with fresh herbs and cream.

WINE ENTHUSIAST - November 15, 2003
Rated "92"
This is a very good wine, but a young one. It tastes immature now, with its brash, dusty tannins that hide the underlying plum, currant and herb flavors. Even with the softness of its acids, it calls for time in the cellar to open up its hidden treasures. Try after 2005.

The Wine Advocate - October, 2003
Rated "89"
Robert Parker —A dark plum/purple color is accompanied by big smoky, earthy nose revealing aromas of pepper, black cherries, and earth. This spicy, dense, full-bodied, macho Zin should be drunk over the next four years.

2000 Cabernet Sauvignon, Sonoma County
Sonoma County
WINE ENTHUSIAST - September 2003
Rated "90"
A blend of the big three Cabernet valleys, Alexander, Sonoma and Dry Creek. Polished and elegant, with good berry flavors balanced and green olive, dill, unsweetened chocolate and earth. Feels plush in the mouth, smooth and soft, but complex. Good enough for your best fare.
