    Highlands 2002 Beatty Ranch Zinfandel (Howell Mountain)

    There's a big, sturdy spine of tannins in this wine, as you'd expect from the origin, but acids are soft. So lush is the blackberry and coffee fruit that it's drinkable now. Thoroughly dry, this single-vineyard Zin is elegant and balanced.
