Zinfandel's big question: while 2001 does shine, how ripe is too ripe?

Article Abstract:

ZinfandelEs ranking among California red wines has slipped, giving ground to better quality Pinot Noir, Syrah, and even the oft-mediocre, Merlot. The best news is that Zinfandel in 2001 is a big step up in quality from Zinfandel in 1998,1999 and 2000, the wines appear to be better balanced, better focused, with purer flavors.
