點擊次數(shù)：1526

This lusciously ripe Zin classically defines Dry Creek Valley. Dry and exuberant in wild blueberry, cherry, coffee, carob and spice, it tames Zin’s feral side, making the wine elegant. ——S.H.(6/1/2007)—— 88

Light and earthy, this wine seems overcropped, given the vintage and the single vineyard sourcing. It’s thin in black cherry and coffee flavors, and very dry.——S.H.(10/1/2005)—— 84

Deep red berrry dusted with cocoa powder, cinnamon-spice and eucalyptus, comprise the tantalizing bouquet. The Quinn is well-balanced, with tannins to spare that give it plenty of texture. On the palate, the red berry is tarter than what the bouquet offers, but it’s rounded out with layers of of bitter chocolate and black pepper. Stewy red berry and a black pepper-and-mineral zing complete the picture.——D.T.(3/1/2002)—— 91
