  "The top wine of this trio is the 2004 Zinfandel Old Vines Reserve (15.9% alcohol) includes 6% Petite Sirah in the blend.  A deep ruby color is accompanied by a sumptuous bouquet of road tar, briery fruit, forest floor, and spice.  This powerful, rich, full-bodied Zin is ideal for drinking over the next 3-4 years."

Vintage 2002:

• 90 - The Wine Advocate - Robert M. Parker, Jr. - 2-28-05 #157
  

  "Revealing a deeper, more saturated ruby color as well as an earthier, more primordial nose, the 2002 Zinfandel Reserve offers copious quantities of raspberry and cherry fruit as well as a medium to full-bodied finish"

  This is a substantial Zin, building its muscle on black cherry-scented fruit and mineral tannin, without a hint of jamminess. It's fresh, bright and floral straight through, with savory notes of pipe tobacco to contrast the higher tones. Decant a bottle for suckling pig.
