My value pick (also the largest in availability) is the 2000 Zinfandel Sonoma Valley. The wine is dark ruby-colored, with a briery, earthy nose displaying a hint of pepper. This medium-bodied Zin exhibits a superficial, up-front charm, but is compressed and angular in the finish. Drink it over the next several years.
