Collier Falls 1998 Private Reserve Zinfandel (Dry Creek Valley)
- Editors' Choice
- $21
Well-made, with clean, bright fruit and lots of pretty new oak. The wine is beautifully balanced, elegant with a long, rich, toasty finish. Fairly light fruit in this vintage, but well handled and perfectly showcased.

Collier Falls 2002 Zinfandel (Dry Creek Valley)
- $26
Made claret style, which is to say, balanced and harmonious despite high alcohol, with no one-element dominating. Pretty cherry, blackberry and cocoa flavors are wrapped in smooth tannins, and the wine is perfectly dry.

Collier Falls 2000 Hillside Estate Cabernet Sauvignon (Dry Creek Valley)
- $36
Brilliantly flavored, with lush flavors of blackcurrants and cassis, clearly a classic Cabernet Sauvignon. Tannins are opulent and thick and should hold the wine for several years. There is a youthful, peppery bitterness throughout that will soften in time.

Collier Falls 2000 Private Reserve Zinfandel (Dry Creek Valley)
- $26
Quintessential old-vine Zin, a rich, thick, concentrated wine oozing with all kinds of flavors and palate impressions. Blackberry, cherry, tobacco, white pepper, cinnamon and rich, decadent chocolate mousse drink fully dry. But the tannins are like wild horses, beautiful and untamed.

Collier Falls 2005 Estate Primitivo (Dry Creek Valley)
- $30
Pretty much like a good Dry Creek Zinfandel, maybe even spicier. This red wine is medium-bodied, dry and very fruity, with flavors of wild cherries, blackberries, blueberries and chocolate. Great with a charbroiled steak or burgers.

Collier Falls 2001 Hillside Estate Cabernet Sauvignon (Dry Creek Valley)
- $36
Gritty tannins mark this young wine. It has a sandpapery feel, but underneath all that are impressive flavors. Blackberries, cherries and coffee really shine on the finish. Good now; better in a few years.

Collier Falls 2006 Hillside Estate Petite Sirah (Dry Creek Valley)
- $36
Shows the rustic side of Petite Sirah, with big tannins, crunchy acidity and juicy berry, pomegranate, currant, grilled steak and black pepper flavors. Tastes raw and immature now, and should be cellared for 3–4 years.

Collier Falls 2007 Private Reserve Zinfandel (Dry Creek Valley)
- $32
Grab your hamburgers and grilled sausages and wash them down with this spicy, rich Zinfandel. It’s silky and sweet in cherry, raspberry and currant flavors, with an edge of milk chocolate and sandalwood. The alcohol is very high, but in keeping with the wine’s overall balance.
