Quivira “Steelhead” 2006 Zinfandel (Dry Creek Valley) – 13.8%. Wan and almost flavorless, with no more than a hint of blue-black fruit. A pretty pathetic effort. Not corked. Just lousy. (7/08)

Quivira 2003 Zinfandel (Dry Creek Valley) – Spicy zinberry fruit with a hollow middle and noticeable heat on the peppery finish. An incomplete wine. (8/07)
