title: Thurston Wolfe 2000 Burgess Vineyard Zinfandel (Columbia Valley (WA))
description: There isn't much Zin in Washington, but this makes a good case for more. Thick and tannic, it's a meaty, dark wine that includes 25% Petite Sirah. Seventeen months in new American oak has left an indelible whisky-barrel scent. —P.G.
