Bear Creek 2001 Old Vine Zinfandel (Lodi)
- $16
Rich and plush in the nose, with hints of ripe fruit and toast. On the palate, it’s a bit leaner than the nose would indicate. Still, it’s fairly complex and silky, with good blackberry, cherry, herb and spice notes. Tannins are firm and the finish is moderate.

Bear Creek 1998 Pinot Noir (Rogue Valley)
- $30
A burly surprise from southern Oregon; there are flowery, almost honeyed elements to the black-fruit nose. It scores big points in the mouthfeel category—it’s round, chewy and creamy. Oak is a giant factor here; you’d better like mounds of toasty wood. If you do, the plump plummy fruit will make your day. But stand clear of this hefster if you prefer elegant…

- $18
Rich in wild berry fruit, with brambly, pepper flavors suggesting black raspberry jam. Abounds in spices, coffee and tobacco. The tannins are on the aggressive side, and the wine feels jagged and edgy in the mouth. —S.H.
