Puccioni 2007 Old Vine Zinfandel (Dry Creek Valley)
- Editors' Choice
- $28
The definitive Dry Creek Zinfandel. It has tons of spices, wild berries and cherries and sweetly smoked sandalwood. Handles its high alcohol well, with the heat accenting the peppers. A lusty, complex Zin to drink now.

Blended with some Petite Sirah, this Zin is enormously rich in wild berry, coffee, tobacco and spice flavors, with a honey-ripe sweetness, but it’s dry. A little oak adds a pleasant vanilla and caramel richness.

Shows good, Zinny flavors of berries, pepper, leather and tobacco, with riper notes of currants and even hints of raisins. Could be firmer in structure, but it’s dry, and not too high in alcohol. Drink now.

Pretty rustic even for a Petite Sirah, with big, edgy tannins and a scoury mouthfeel. But it shows rich flavors of cherries, berries, cola, bacon and sandalwood, with a spicy, peppery finish. Ready to drink now.

The label features an image of a kicking mule, and it’s appropriate, for this is a kick-butt wine. It’s strong, tannic and high in alcohol, and it won’t be shy about standing up to barbecue.
