  A nose of bold sweet black cherry and spice, dark garnet in color. A full bodied Zin, with black cherry and smoky peppery flavors, jammy with a long finish. Always good every year. www.winelx.com

  PnP, a great match for smoked ribs. Aromas of cherry, licorice, black pepper, lavender, black tea. Silky smooth flavors with cherry, anise, black pepper, tea. smooth tannins in a long finish,

  With a little more brightness and freshness than previous vintages, this has kirsch, bay leaf, green tobacco, red vine licorice, earthy elements and blueberries. Lift and body, with layers of red fruit flavor and all things earthy. Long and gliding, there’s no pretense, just a stunning bottle of what Dry Creek Zinfandel should truly be: power and finesse. The best Dry Creek yet? I still prefer the ‘19, but this is damn close…and stunning. Drink now - 2035

  Really well balanced and nuanced. Will only improve over the near to mid term
