Dusty cherry and vanilla come through on the nose. The palate adds blueberry and pastry, a voluptuous mouthful and a great big wine, at 15.3% alcohol. It calls for meat, lots of meat, preferably something cooked outside on a skewer. Highly Recommended. 90 points. DBH WHO: Bear Flag WHAT: Zinfandel

Blackberry and sweet blueberry shine on the nose. The palate is voluptuous, with flavors of berries baked in pie, vanilla, and clove. The pie sensation lingers. Drink with lamb chops. Highly Recommended. 91 points. DBH WHO: Decoy WHAT: Zinfandel WHEN: 2013 WHERE: Sonoma County, California HOW MUCH: $25 (media sample)

Waxy black fruits, cherries, and leather are followed by milk chocolate. Sweet fruit and pastry create a simple crowd-pleaser at a reasonable price. Drink with barbecue pork sandwiches. Recommended. 87 points. DBH WHO: Pedroncelli WHAT: Zinfandel WHEN: 2014 DESIGNATION: Mother Clone WHERE: Dry Creek Valley, California HOW MUCH: $17 (media sample) POINTS: 87
