Z-52 2006 Truchard Vineyard Zinfandel (Napa Valley)
- Editors' Choice
- $24
Shows all the Zinny character you could want, with masses of wild forest berries, sweet red currants, licorice, bacon, smoky sandalwood and peppery spices. The pedigree comes in the dryness and the fine balance of tannins, acids and oak. A first-rate, upscale Zin.

Z-52 2003 Clockspring Vineyard Old Vines Zinfandel (Amador County)
- $20
This single-vineyard wine showcases the ripeness and smoothness of Amador Zin at its best. It has briary, wild berry flavors, with a roasted coffee and chocolate finish. It’s a rustic wine, which is a huge part of its appeal.

Z-52 2006 Zinfandel (Lodi)
- Best Buy
- $12
A great buy at this price for its richness and overall integrity. Has a medium body, with fine, fuzzy tannins and bone-dry, complex flavors of wild berries, currants, herbs, tobacco and tons of peppery spices.

Z-52 2004 Clockspring Vineyard Old Vine Zinfandel (Amador County)
- $20
I’m not a huge Zinfandel fan, but this is a good one that shows the best qualities of Amador Zin. Dry and lusty, it shows delicious flavors of wild berries and thyme, with a touch of sweet oak, and the ripe, savory tannins that come from a perfectly warm vintage.

Z-52 2001 Clockspring Vineyard Old Vines Zinfandel (Lodi)
- $20
A bit hot and peppery, for those sensitive to that sort of thing, but if you’re big on warm-country Zin, you’ll like the way this one takes over your mouth. Black currants, herbs, coffee, tobacco and spices, and totally dry.

Z-52 2001 Agnes' Vineyard Old Vines Zinfandel (Lodi)
- $16
No problem getting the grapes ripe, to judge from the explosion of berry and chocolate flavors. You’ll find some smooth tannins backing it all up. Feels just a bit rustic.

Z-52 2002 Agnes' Vineyard Old Vines Zinfandel (Lodi)
- $16
Drink this country-style Zin with grilled meats or poultry. It’s dry and fruity, with blackberry and spice flavors. Finishes a bit sweet, which suggests a rich, tomato-based BBQ sauce with a little brown sugar or molasses.

Z-52 2004 Agnes' Vineyard Zinfandel (Lodi)
- Online Exclusive
- $16
I’ve never had a Zin from this vineyard that wasn’t rustic and tannic. The ’04 is in that tradition. The official alcohol is only 14.3%, but it feels hot and Porty, with flavors of raisins and stewed berries, although it is fully dry.
