Del Carlo Winery 2006 Teldeschi Vineyards Home Ranch Old Vine Zinfandel (Dry Creek Valley)

  1. $32
Here’s a very dry, tannic young Zinfandel that shows real depth and complexity. It has the rugged mouthfeel and spicy, peppery flavors that mark a good Dry Creek Zin. The fruit suggests wild black, blue and red berries. Drink now.  — S.H.  (7/1/2010)

A rich, complex Zinfandel, showing the rustic mouthfeel sometimes found in Dry Creek reds. The tannins are strong and jagged, and the berry and cherry flavors have a wild, briary taste. But the finish is bone dry, and the wine grows more interesting as it breathes in the glass.  — S.H.  (3/1/2011)

  • Online Exclusive
  1. $45
Briary in taste and texture, with nettle, spicy pepper and bitter wild berryskin flavors, although there’s enough cherry fruit to satisfy. An interesting wine of a place, with distinctive qualities.  — S.H.  (10/1/2009)

Del Carlo Winery 2006 Cabernet Sauvignon (Dry Creek Valley)

  1. $30
Shows the rustic, sandpapery tannins often found in Dry Creek reds, and also the exotic spiciness you might encounter in a Zinfandel. Otherwise, the blackberry, currant and cedar flavors nicely illustrate Cabernet Sauvignon. Drink now.  — S.H.  (7/1/2010)

Spicy and peppery, this rustic wine has invigorating flavors of berries, cherries, tobacco and teriaki beef. It’s a sturdy, Chianti-style wine made for barbecue.  — S.H.  (9/1/2009)

A nasty wine, dirty, hot and harsh. Almost undrinkable, except for some decent berry flavors.  — S.H.  (12/31/2011)
