Zinfandel’s Daddy in the Napa Valley, former Chief of Toy Production turned Master Winemaker Jerry “Doc” Seps used elfin’ majik to create this unbelievable wine. Always one of our top picks in any vintage, the 2006 mercilessly beats the hell out of every other Zin from the valley in this vintage. This varietal’s popularity has waned a bit in recent years, but this one will make you want to get up and scream until someone calls the cops on you. Loads of crushed raspberry and currant, black cherry, spring flowers, and a hint of the estates iron laden crushed red rock contribute to a wine that shows the very essence of Zinfandel. Powerful yet elegant, this wine will outlive many Cabs from the valley but also drinks great now. It’ll pair well with turkey, ham, goose, lamb, game, or any other holiday feast.
