The 2016 Zinfandel Especial offers up high-toned and unusual aromas of grapefruit and red berries, followed by a medium-bodied, open-knit palate with fine tannins, juicy acids and a savory finish. It's a somewhat atypical Zinfandel, but it's structurally more attractive than some of the other Peachy Canyon bottlings.

Made in a high-alcohol, extracted style, this Zin has wild berry, chocolate, licorice and liqueur flavors that veer into currants and raisins. It’s hot, peppery, glyceriney sweet and technically dry.——S.H.(3/1/2011)—— 87

Full-bodied and robust, with explosive flavors of blackberry and cherry jam, dates, chocolate, Tabasco and crushed red and black peppercorn. With a hint of sweetness, it will play well against grilled lamb, chicken or beef with barbecue sauce.——S.H.(12/31/2008)—— 87

This is quite a fine Zinfandel that shows the benefits of a relatively cool vintage in Paso Robles. The fruit is entirely ripe, but without the Porty sweetness that can mar Paso reds in a hot year. Although there’s a caramelly edge, it’s not over the top, lending a soupcon of honey to the blackberry and spice flavors.——S.H.(12/1/2007)—— 88
