I did a search on WS website and found 5 "classic" zins. All from Turley and all between 1993-96. Either Turley and everyone else lost their touch or WS made a corporate decision that zinfandels are lacking.
One other thought, when did that study come out finding that the zinfandel grape was not from noble lines but from a common Croatian line.

...of the book, "Angel's Visit" which is about the history of zinfandel, but must confess I haven't read it yet. It's been sitting on my shelf for about 10 years.
The most memorable zin for me was a 1979 Lytton Springs (before Ridge bought them) which I drank in about 1983. It knocked my socks off and I've been an avid zin collector/drinker since then.
My favorites are still from that area - Dry Creek in Sonoma - like Rafanelli and the Ridge.
