Soft and sweet, with candied, pie-filling flavors of blackberries, cherries and raspberries. Drink this country-style wine with simple foods.

Perry Creek 2008 Altitude 2401 Zinfandel (El Dorado)
- Online Exclusive
- $28
Not a lot of aromas in this 14.9% old-vine Zin, though a touch of fruit shows up mid-palate. Pretty so-so.

Perry Creek 1999 Estate Bottled Cabernet Sauvignon (El Dorado)
- $14
It’s ripely assertive, with blackberry flavors. What makes it only acceptable is awkwardness everyplace else. The texture is syrupy, and while it’s bone dry, it has a cough mediciney flavor. The tannins are rugged and palate-scouring.

Perry Creek 2000 Zin Man Zinfandel
- $12
A wine like this makes me sad. Blessed by nature with the ability to ripen Zinfandel to perfection in this warm region, the winemaking is, let us say honestly, imperfect. The wine is syrupy sweet and cloying. The acids are much too low. And 15.5% alcohol makes for a hot mouthfeel with nothing to balance it out.

Perry Creek 2004 Cellar Select Potter Vineyards Zinfandel (Amador County)
- Online Exclusive
- $28
Smells caramelly and Porty, then tastes sweet and hot, with a sugary, blackberry jam finish. Some will like this style.

Perry Creek 2006 Viognier (El Dorado)
- Online Exclusive
- $14
Shows the faults of common California Viognier, a sweet, simple and cloying wine with syrupy flavors of canned peaches, apricots and pineapples.

Perry Creek 2005 Altitude 2401 Fair Play Farms Syrah (El Dorado)

Unbalanced, with sweet cherry and orange jam flavors and acidity that’s almost sour.
