Troon Vineyards 2002 Estate Reserve Zinfandel (Applegate Valley)
- $100
Yes, that is the correct price. This Applegate Valley Zin might be considered the Turley of Oregon. The bottle alone must weigh several pounds. Concentrated raspberry and boysenberry fruit retains enough acid to keep it from becoming syrupy. The supremely oaky flavors carry streaks of Kahlua and dark chocolate. But the density that might balance the 16.5% percent…

Troon Vineyards 1999 Cabernet Sauvignon (Applegate Valley)
- $15
A firm and fruity effort with some nice toasty elements. Precise and tangy, it offers some ripe berries and cranberries, and a pleasantly toasty finish.

Troon Vineyards 1999 Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon (Applegate Valley)
- $19
Troon’s reserve is not all that different from the regular bottling. The color is a bit darker, and the tannins have been boosted. The fruit is compact and tightly wound.

Troon Vineyards 2002 Ltd. Reserve II Cabernet Sauvignon-Syrah (Applegate Valley)
- $25
Half Cabernet Sauvignon, half Syrah. It has a funky open, with scents of latex and rubber that open into bubblegum. Light and fruity in the mouth, it is surprisingly simple.

Troon Vineyards 2003 Estate Reserve Zinfandel (Applegate Valley)
- $60
The 2003 version of the estate Zinfandel clocks in at just 15.5% alcohol, but carries a fair amount of volatile nail polish aromas. It is marinated in new oak—French, American, Hungarian—so that whisky barrel scents and flavors cover up any taste of the varietal fruit.
