2003 Kenwood, Zinfandel, Jack London Vineyard, Sonoma Valley, California, $20, 6,900 cases. The nose is a pleasant mix of plums, pomegranates and French vanilla. Medium to full bodied, jammy and fruity, with flavors echoing the nose; 88/89.
2003 Kenwood, Zinfandel, Reserve, Sonoma County, California, $20, 1,700 cases. Medium ruby in color, with berries, mint, American oak and licorice unfolding on the nose. Full on the delivery, with lots of typical Zin fruit and a nice peppery streak throughout. Oak is only a seasoning; 87/88.

Do you know why one is the reserve and not the other one? It seems odd to me both are at the same price. I know California has no law as far as reserve wines go, but I'm wondering if Kenwood has a rule or doctrine they go by. Just curious.
Sounds like enjoyable wines, thanks for the notes.
