Brazin 2007 Sommer Vineyard Zinfandel (Dry Creek Valley)

  • Online Exclusive
  1. $25
Big in berry and currant fruit, high in alcohol, hard in astringent tannins. Brazen indeed. But you know what? This Zin pulls off its balancing act. It’s a spicy, briary, lusty wine that will pair well with slow-cooked, braised meat dishes, like lamb shanks.  — S.H.  (9/1/2010)

Brazin 2007 Fall Creek Vineyard Old Vine Zinfandel (Dry Creek Valley)

  1. $25
Dry and robust, this Zin has briary, brambly flavors set off by a rich, slightly bitter streak of red currants and tobacco. It’s a full-bodied, tannic wine whose peppery spices will play well against a grilled steak.  — S.H.  (3/1/2010)

Brazin 2007 Zinfandel (Dry Creek Valley)

  1. $19
Dark, big, rich and tannic, but savory in ripe red currants and licorice, this slightly rustic Zin will pair well with rich meats and cheeses and especially barbecue.  — S.H.  (3/1/2010)

Brazin 2008 Old Vines Zinfandel (Lodi)

  1. $16
A mighty big Zin from Lodi, 15% alcohol, full of sweet berries and vanilla flavor. Should be easy to find and a good match for backyard barbecue.  — V.B.  (9/1/2011)

Brazin 2009 Monte Rosso Vineyard Zinfandel (Sonoma Valley)

  • Online Exclusive
  1. $35
High alcohol gives this dry, tannic wine some heat, and the overripe fruit lends a raisiny, pruny tinge to the blackberry flavor.  — S.H.  (4/1/2013)

Brazin 2007 Monte Rosso Vineyard Zinfandel (Sonoma Valley)

  • Online Exclusive
  1. $35
Too ripe, with pruny, raisiny flavors that are Porty and hot in high-alcohol, glyceriney heaviness. Defines a certain style, but not really balanced or food-friendly.  — S.H.  (9/1/2010)
