Tasting Notes

The smell of a fresh rain on a dusty road. Chocolate covered cherries abound in this red fruit wine. Cranberry mixed with spice show through this extractive claret style “Old World Style Zinfandel”. A rich, full mouth feel adds to the rounded complexity and long lingering finish of this medium bodied wine. This food friendly Zinfandel pairs well with any grilled meat or chicken, or pair with pizza, pasta and burgers!

Winemaker’s Notes

Produced from the vineyards located in the Shenandoah Valley of Amador County. The granite soils of Amador County are well suited to producing distinctive, earthy, full bodied Zinfandels that have a wonderful character all to themselves. 2013 is a drought vintage which produces lower yields of smaller more extractive fruit.
