    Light in color and in body. Typical Zin character with brambly berry flavor and zesty black pepper, without being overbearing despite alcohol above 15%. Still, the wine comes across as uninteresting and while adequate, it doesn’t show cause for pause. I have one more bottle that in my opinion I should drink sooner rather than later. (84 pts.)

I had the 05 Dry Creek a year or so ago and was very pleased with it. It reminded me of the old school zins with it’s bright, pure raspberry and strawberry, with some peppery spice and good acid that is so rare in Zin these days.
