Mazzocco 2004 Stone Ranch Zinfandel (Alexander Valley)

Price $24

The Stone Ranch Zins I’ve had over the years have generally been very good, but this is the best in many years. Probably the warm vintage was responsible. It coaxed fabulously rich flavors from the 80-year-old vines, from chocolate, blueberry pie and blackberry jam to espresso, sweet leather and cinnamon. The wine is soft, dry and warming, a perfect elaboration of… — S.H. (6/1/2007)

Mazzocco 1999 Stone Ranch Vineyard Zinfandel (Alexander Valley)

Price $22

This great wine proves that Zinfandel is a noble variety. It has the huge, rich density of a fine Cabernet, with Zin’s distinctive wild berry flavors. The tannins are big and sweet, but the finish astounds. — S.H. (11/15/2004)

Mazzocco 1997 Quinn Vineyard Zinfandel (Dry Creek Valley)

Price $22

Deep red berrry dusted with cocoa powder, cinnamon-spice and eucalyptus, comprise the tantalizing bouquet. The Quinn is well-balanced, with tannins to spare that give it plenty of texture. On the palate, the red berry is tarter than what the bouquet offers, but it’s rounded out with layers of of bitter chocolate and black pepper. Stewy red berry and a black… — D.T. (3/1/2002)

Mazzocco 2007 Aguilera Reserve Petite Sirah (Dry Creek Valley)

Cellar Selection

Price $45

Just about as big, powerful and impressive as the variety gets. The wild berry, currant, smoked meat, tobacco, licorice and white pepper flavors explode in the mouth, contained by big, tight tannins. Right now there’s a sharp cut of acidity that detracts, but the tartness should help the wine age. Give it 4-5 years in the cellar. — S.H. (4/1/2011)

Mazzocco 1995 Zinfandel (Sonoma County)

Price $22

These 80-year-old vines have long produced classic Zinfandel bursting with full-bodied fruit and a long, spicy finish that’s lightly sprinkled with black pepper. Winemaker Phyllis Zouzounis has captured the essence of Zinfandel here. — L.W. (9/1/1999)

Mazzocco 1997 Bevill Vineyards Viognier (Dry Creek Valley)

Price $24

What a nice wine. Has strong floral, citrus, and vanilla aromas, and powerful fruity-spicy flavors. Very dry and rich. Packs a wallop on the finish. A crowd-pleaser. — S.H. (11/1/1999)

Mazzocco 1997 Winemaker's Select Chardonnay (Sonoma County)

Price $20

An elegant wine with lovely citrus and tropical fruit on the opening. The center is rich, with a touch of butter and echoes of the opening spicy citrus fruit. The finish is long and layered, with complex flavors. Drinking very well right now. — L.W. (12/31/1999)

Mazzocco 1997 Cuneo & Saini Vineyard Zinfandel (Dry Creek Valley)

Price $22

Made from 80-year-old vines, the Cuneo Saini is lively and medium-bodied in the mouth. Oak, brown sugar and cocoa stand out on the nose, and are followed on the palate by blackberry coated with a healthy dose of black pepper. Fresh herbal flavors meld the palate with the finish, where chalky-cocoa powder flavors linger. — D.T. (3/1/2002)
