Truett Hurst 2009 Burning Man Petite Sirah (Dry Creek Valley)

Online Exclusive

Price $33

Classic Petite Sirahin its own brawny, briary way. It’s full-bodied and drily tannic, with strong flavors of wild berries, tobacco, Canadian bacon, crushed pepper and toast. The depth of these flavors is considerable, as is the long, spicy finish. Should glide effortlessly through the next eight years. — S.H. (12/15/2011)

Truett Hurst 2009 Red Rooster Zinfandel (Dry Creek Valley)

Price $29

A luscious Zin, much better than the winery’s ’08. Made from old vineyards in the valley, it shows classic Dry Creek character, with firm tannins framing flavors of wild berries, dried red currants, pepper and sweet sandalwood. The alcohol is very high, if you’re sensitive to that. — S.H. (12/15/2011)

points

Truett Hurst 2009 Rattler Rock Zinfandel (Dry Creek Valley)

Price $29

Classic Dry Creek Zinfandel, dry and brawny and high in alcohol. Pair the wild blackberry, nettle, anise and pepper flavors with a spice-rubbed, smoky grilled steak. — S.H. (12/15/2011)

points

Truett Hurst 2008 Rattler Rock Old Vine Zinfandel (Dry Creek Valley)

Price $29

Shows Zin’s wild, briary personality, with spicy flavors of ripe summer berries. An exuberant wine that wants barbecue and marinara-sauced pasta dishes to set it off. Don’t forget the grated cheese. — S.H. (6/1/2010)

Truett Hurst 2011 The Fugitive Red (Dry Creek Valley)

Price $25

This hearty wine is spicy, warm in alcohol and easy to drink on a summer night with barbecue. Made from undisclosed varieties, its flavors are of red currants, licorice and beef jerky. — S.H. (6/1/2013)

Truett Hurst 2008 Red Rooster Old Vine Zinfandel (Dry Creek Valley)

Online Exclusive

Price $29

The problem with this wine is excessive alcohol. Officially, it’s 16.5%, which is almost Port. However, this Zin is dry. Yet it can’t outrun the taste of overripe raisins. Not for everyone, but a decent example of its style. — S.H. (6/1/2010)

points

Truett Hurst 2010 Swallowtail Chardonnay (Dry Creek Valley)

Online Exclusive

Price $20

Made in the modern style, a predictable Chardonnay with too much oak riding on top of too thin fruit, finishing sweet and cloying. — S.H. (12/15/2011)
