Nice zinfandel, but nothing special. No better than the '95 Sonoma. Not worth the price, IMNSHO. Drink now.

Bob, as you know, the Cooke is consistently my least favorite Raven SV Zin. I'm not a fan of overblown Turleyesque Zins, but the Cooke is just a little too lean and claret-style for me. Anyone find the Cookes to be their thing, and what do you enjoy about them?

From barrel the 96 Cooke showed great promise, on release it was really closed.
I haven't tried it since release but have a couple bottles in the cellar, maybe i'll crack one. Call me shallow, but I usually find the Dickerson to be my favorite on release, the eucolyptus always wins me over.
