I usually like the Chiles Mill a bit more than the Chiles Valley bottling--the past few years they're both decent, middle-of-the road zins, more in a claret style than the blockbuster mode, nicely balanced but lacking real depth or distinguishing character. I usually find the CM to be a good barbeque wine, but in the past year or two the price has gone past the point I'll pay for a barbeque wine.
Can you recommend some blockbuster Zin's to try. I have some Cline Zin's but have not tried them yet.
Depends on what you like, of course. Turley zins are blockbusters all, but they're hard to find at retail. Cline makes a variety of styles of zin; actually they seem to have more different bottlings every year, but the 'Big Break' is often a good big zin--I haven't had the latest release yet.Ridge zins can certainly be big, but I don't think they're what people think of when they hear the word 'blockbuster.' Still, it's hard to go too far wrong. I buy Geyserville & Lytton Springs every year, at least to try them. The latest releases are a bit smaller and more elegant than the past few years have been, but still fine wines.
Martinelli zins are huge, but you run into the same problem with the Turleys--hard to get ahold of.
Caldwell Cellars makes big zins in that same style.
Lava Cap zins are big and soft and lush, easier to find.
I like Dashe zins, but they're not really blockbusters.
I can't think of any more right now.
