  Michael David Petite Petit Sirah 2007

  Snoothrank: Starting at $17^.99

  This is a rich, jammy, velvety berry fruit bomb. Blackberry is the standout characteristic with violets, plum, blueberry and nutmeg all part of this wine’s nose. Anticipate hints of vanilla as well. Needs a big steak or roast.

  337 Cabernet Sauvignon 2007

  Snoothrank:

  A good full bodied wine, great with steak or a meat dish. Not quite as good as the 2006, but still a good choice, especially for the casual enthusiast.

My understanding is ... fan of 7 Deadly Zins out of Lodi, which in spite of it being a blend from various winemakers, has always been consistently superb. A couple months ago I tried a chardonnay from Livermore, and was amazed at how great it was. Unfortunately, I forgot to keep the bottle and can't remember what it was! Right then, will have a look for that d'Alba. Have only tried one Piedmont barbera since the Cali ones, and it didn't even come close. I don't really climb much of anywhere except El Capitan these days. I leave all my climbing gear pretty much in California, although I do a bit of cragging her in Ontario from time to time. I'm also part of the group that's exploring Mamoth Cave, Kentucky, so I spend a few days underground each month. So far this year, we've discovered, explored and surveyed about 9,000 feet of new passage, lots of it small, but at least one room big enough to fit a small winery. Cheers, Pete    (hide)

  Cosentino Winery Zinfandel Cigarzin 2006

  Snoothrank:

  Pomegranate, raspberry, cherries, cassis and rhubarb flavors intermingle in a concentrated jammy style with briary notes. Elegant and smooth on entry, despite being big, rich, and mouthfilling throughout. Should be enjoyed with a cigar, Nub-Connecticut is the one of choice for me.

  So Pete, do you have any relationship to Eisch? ;-) An interesting, well ... but I'm certainly not. BTW, Lodi, Amador and the Sierra foothills have produced a lot of good Zin for several years now.

Here's an article that Snooth did this past summer: http://www.snooth.com/articles/wine-regions/sierra-foothills-2/ And you should definitely try some Barbera from Italy. Hunt for Barbera d'Alba as a starting point. Do you climb anywhere else besides Yosemite    (hide)

  Plungerhead Lodi Zinfandel 2006

  Snoothrank:

  Interesting reviews...I get an note of olives speaking of the Mediterranean. Strangely unique, yet good I suppose for the price. If you like Syrah's, go for the Bedford Thompson winery from the Los Olivos area near Santa Ynez.

I'm a wannabe wine snob from Toronto, Ontario. I spend ... in spite of its "appelation Lodi". [Sheesh, can you believe Lodi produces a great zin?] But I forked out the $30+ bucks for the Eisch glass, because it works. Anyone else tried it? If knott, you really have to give it a go. You will be amazed. Cheers, Pete P.S. Here is your Big Wall Tip of the Day - check out Amador County, California barbera! They have the climate and the soil. I had never even heard of the varietal until I tried it. It's up and coming. Mark my words - in five years, you'll be hearing about this stuff.    (hide)

I love wines from Lodi, California and for starters you might try the Oak Ridge Wines like thier OZV, 3Girls Cabernet, or the Oak Ridge Cabernet or Zinfandel. Also for some variety you might like the Parrone Wines from Chile. The DeRose Winery from California has a Winery in Chile and they import them in for Sale. It would be helpful if I knew where your located. I'm in the Cleveland,Youngstown area    (hide)

All around yummy and powerful.    (hide)
