Acorn 2005 Alegria Vineyards Heritage Vines Zinfandel (Russian River Valley)
- $34
Acorn has produced one of their best bottlings ever. The wine is drily crisp and tannic, but rich and supple, with cassis, cherry and carob flavors that have an earthy, mushroom and tobacco grounding. The wine contains smaller amounts of at least 10 other varieties, in the manner of an old field blend.

Acorn 2000 Heritage Vines Alegria Vineyards Zinfandel (Russian River Valley)
- $28
Actually a blend of Zin plus 10 other minor varietals in an old field blend, this complex wine fascinates with its intricately interlocked flavors. There’s a sensation a second. Bottom line: This wine is delicious, ripely sweet although technically dry, and ageworthy.

Acorn 2001 Alegrîa Vineyards Axiom Syrah (Russian River Valley)
- $24
A good, rich Syrah, with that Northern Rhône peppery-meaty structural edge to the vibrant cherry fruit. The tannins are substantial, but that’s no problem with the right foods. Has that extra dimension that marks a distinctive wine.

Acorn 2005 Alegria Vineyards Axiom Syrah (Russian River Valley)
- $32
The 2005 vintage was a good one for the vineyard, cool and steady, yielding dry, balanced wines, including this low-production Syrah. The tannins are of the furry-fuzzy kind, framing blackberry, cola, tobacco, vanilla and sage flavors.

Acorn 2000 Alegria Vineyards Axiom Syrah Cuvee (Russian River Valley)
- Editors' Choice
- $20
An interesting wine by virtue of its terroir-driven features. Low in cherry fruit, high in earthy tobacco, dry as a bone and tart with acidity. But it has an elegantly sweet edge that cries out for richly sauced pasta and beef.

Acorn 2006 Alegría Vineyard Heritage Vines Zinfandel (Russian River Valley)
- $35
Rich and savory, with jammy-sweet, briary blackberry, cherry, currant, mocha, tabasco and dusty spice flavors that are intricate and complex. It’s a strong, direct wine, yet has Zin’s classic appeal.

Acorn 2001 Alegria Vineyards, Heritage Vines Zinfandel (Russian River Valley)
- $28
A bright, eucalyptus edge runs through the top here, followed by creamy black cherry, blackberry, plum, chocolate, licorice, coffee and sage notes. Smooth textured and ripe, the wine is pleasing to the end.

Acorn 2005 Alegría Vineyards Sangiovese (Russian River Valley)
- $26
Sharp and dry, this Chianti-style wine has cherry, date, grilled mushroom, balsam and vanilla flavors. The nicest part is the silky texture, light and elegant, like a Pinot Noir. Needs rich meats, pasta or risotto to show its best.
