Carol Shelton, a "Zin Specialist," is known for her luscious, fruit forward wines and produces small lot vineyard designated wines. The name for Rocky ReserveŽ, comes from the deep red, rocky soils of the Florence Vineyard, 1400 feet above Lake Sonoma and Dry Creek Valley. This is a more elegant and restrained Zin, worthy of five or more years of cellaring, though it is packed with fragrant black and blue berry fruits.

![Details](kiosk.asp?picturename=100135.jpg&extdesc=Orin Swift "The Prisoner "&subdesc=2008®ion=Napa, U.S.&name=Zinfandel&price=36.99¬es=Sometimes the best wines are not conceived by hours of strategic planning between vineyard managers, winemakers, and marketing gurus hunkered down in endless pre-harvest meetings. On the contrary, and much more commonly, they are the end product of what Mother Nature and some dumb luck conspires to give. The Prisoner is the epitome of the latter and came about through challenges at the winery in 2000, a very hot and difficult year in which all of the grapes grown for Orin Swift Winery ripened differently. The conclusion was to throw them all together and see what happens. As it turned out, The Prisoner was born and they found themselves a multiple award-winning signature blend of Zinfandel (50per), Syrah (14per), Cabernet Sauvignon (24per), Petit Syrah (9per) and Charbono (2per) and Grenach (1per).

 and Phillip Titus' (winemaker) maverick flair keeps their style and vision just a bit under the radar and off the main drag. Phillip Titus has garnered and excellent reputation for his focus on quality, and the 10 acre vineyard on the Silverado Trail in St. Helena delivers the standard of fruit needed for his Zinfandel. Showing substance, excellence and restraint not often found in Napa Zin's, the thirty plus year old vineyard is dry farmed.

![Details](kiosk.asp?picturename=180030.jpg&extdesc=Tres Sabores Porque No?&subdesc=2006®ion=Napa, U.S.&name=Zinfandel&price=24.99¬es=Tres Sabores, "Three savory flavors" is a small family farm & winery growing grapes, pomegranates, and olives located in Rutherford: the heart of the Napa Valley Wine Country. Julie Johnson and her family grow organically certified Zinfandel, Cabernet, and Petite Syrah and produce wines that celebrate the creativity of winemaking. Julie Johnson is also currently Board President for ZAP, or Zinfandel Advocate Producers.
Tres Sabores makes two estate wines: The Rutherford Zinfandel (limited to 500 cases) and Rutherford Perspective Cabernet Sauvignon (200 cases). Back in 2000, they had a few barrels left over and literally asked, "So what would happen if we combined everything delicious that we still had in the cellar and added a little vino from our spice box (Petite Syrah, Petit Verdot)?" To which, of course, the answer was: "Why Not?!" Quite naturally, the wine reflects the composition and the spontaneity of the moment and they have made it ever since.
Porque No is a Zinfandel based blend (80 percent) with Cabernet Sauvignon (15 percent), Petite Syrah, and Petit Verdot (5 percent).
