Score 88/100 · Stephen Tanzer, Vinous, Jan 2004

(with 20% petite sirah and 2% carignane; 15. 9% alcohol) Bright ruby-red. Deeply pitched but fruity aromas of currant, chocolate, mocha and mellow oak. Huge, dense and deep, but with somewhat one-dimensional peppery flavor and a distinct herbacity. Slow-building finish features big but ripe tannins and a faint green edge.

A terrific effort, the deep ruby/purple-colored 2001 Zinfandel York Creek boasts aromas of black fruits, minerals, animal, and earth. This primordial-styled Zin is full-bodied, burly, muscular, and loaded. While not as gracious as the Geyserville, it is a macho offering to drink over the next 5-6 years. Tel. (408) 867-3233
