They just rated a Carlisle zinfandel "96". I thought a couple of years back that they stated that they weren't going to give any zins a classic rating because the grape wasn't capable of being that complex?
By the way, the Carlisle zin (if you can get it) is $40. Or you can buy a bottle of Haut Brion white* for $680. It got a "97".
*All snickering aside, an Haut Brion white I had the luck to try back in the late 70's is still the finest dry white I have ever tasted.
Follow Ups:
...in the current issue there is a chart of their ratings by percentages within wine categories.
In 2009 out of 420 California zins only 1% rated between 95 - 100 points.
Surprised to see that since I thought I'd read they wouldn't rate zins over 95 points.
Better find some of that Carlisle - top 1%.
