The Wine Advocate Issue #187, February 2010 2007 Florence Vineyard Zinfandel "The 2007 Zinfandel Florence Vineyard displays a Burgundian-like nose of forest floor, black currants, black cherries, earth, and spice along with a supple texture, a fleshy, rich, elegant style, and 5-7 years of drinkability ahead of it." 92 Points The Wine Advocate
The Wine Advocate Issue #187, February 2010 2007 Todd Brothers Ranch Old Vines Zinfandel "The deep ruby/purple-tinged 2007 Zinfandel Todd Brothers Ranch reveals an attractive bouquet of white chocolate, briery fruit, spice box, and a Provencal/garrigue-like character. Full-bodied, rich, and heady, this gorgeous Zin possesses both elegance and power. Enjoy it over the next 5-7 years." 91 Points The Wine Advocate
The Wine Advocate Issue #187, February 2010 2006 Louvau Vineyard Old Vines Zinfandel "More gamey, earthy, foresty, pepper, and meaty, briery, raspberry fruit characteristics emerge from the 2006 Zinfandel Louvau Vineyard Old Vines. This medium to full-bodied, elegant, zesty, delicious Zinfandel will drink well over the next 2-4 years." 90 Points Wine & Spirits
February 2010 Joshua Greene "Year's Best Zinfandel" 2007 Florence Vineyard Zinfandel "A recent planting of the St. Peter's Church selection, these young vines (planted in 2002) provided a superripe, peppery zin in 2007. The scent edges toward prunes, but the fruit retains some freshness. Serve it at the end of the meal with cheese." 90 Points

February 2010 Joshua Greene "Year's Best Zinfandel"
"Mike Dashe usually harvests the old vines at this Geyserville vineyard first - in 2007, that was early September. He doesn't inoculate the must and uses older French oak to mature the wine. The result is a zin with freshness and lovely textural grace. The fruit runs from transparent cherry skin to ripe peach and earthier notes of sweet carrots pulled directly out of the garden. As bright and juicy as the wine may be, the tannins are potent and need age to mellow. For the cellar, and eventually, brisket." 93 Points
