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.

Puccioni 2004 Old Vine Zinfandel (Dry Creek Valley)
- $28
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.

Puccioni 2006 Old Vine Zinfandel (Dry Creek Valley)
- Online Exclusive
- $28
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.

Puccioni 2006 Petite Sirah (Dry Creek Valley)
- Online Exclusive
- $28
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.

Puccioni 2005 Old Vine Zinfandel (Dry Creek Valley)
- $28
Lots going on in this ripe, lusty Zin. It shows the spicy, briary character of Dry Creek, with wild blackberry, cherry and boysenberry flavors complexed with mocha, sweet vanilla and toast.

Puccioni 2003 Old Vine Zinfandel (Dry Creek Valley)
- $28
Veteran Napa vintner Glenn Proctor turns his sights to old vine Sonoma Zin to craft this robust, effusively fruity wine. It’s dry to the palate, laced with rich tannins, and has ripe berry-cherry flavors that veer into raisins.
