Windmill 2001 Old Vine Zinfandel (Lodi)

Best Buy

Price $10

From the land of old-vine Zinfandel, this one pours out more concentration than its price would suggest. It’s rich on the palate and offers ripe black cherry at the core. Smoke, vanilla and licorice flavors follow suit, though it’s somewhat bitter on the end. Still, at this price, Windmill Zin shines brightly. — J.M. (11/15/2003)

Price $12

Decent everyday Zin, dry and spicy, with rich tannins and ripe dark berry, coffee and tobacco flavors veering into bitter dark chocolate. Nice with pasta in a tomato sauce. — S.H. (12/15/2006)

Windmill 2003 Syrah (Lodi)

Price $12

Jammy and soft, with cherry and vanilla flavors that hang just this side of flabby. Picks up attractive brown sugar and caramel notes on the tangy finish. — W.E. (9/1/2005)

Windmill 2010 Old Vine Zinfandel (Lodi)

Online Exclusive

Price $12

Soft, round and very ripe, this is simple and straightforward, with big, chewy tannins and flavors of cola and cinnamon. Bright on the nose, it is full-bodied and heavy in the mouth, and it screams out for hearty heaps of grilled food. — V.B. (9/1/2012)
