Region: Amador County, California
Blend: 79% Zinfandel, 21% Petite Sirah
Year: 2022
Winemaker Notes:
"The 2022 wine has a ruby purple color of significant depth with garnet hues that carry an edge of carmine probably coming from the significant percentage of Petite Sirah in this year’s blend. Despite containing over 20% Petite Sirah, the aroma of this wine is loaded with classic Zinfandel fruit; boysenberry, black raspberry, and olallieberry. The focus is on succulent ripe fruit. There is no suggestion of stewed fruit, raisins, prunes, or other late harvest nonsense. Aging in small oak barrels for almost a year has provided this wine with a bouquet of hazelnut, sandalwood, and almond paste. Upon pouring, the bouquet takes a ‘backseat’ to the aroma, but with time in the glass it becomes more evident. On the palate succulent flavors of creamy ripe red raspberries, and caramel are accompanied by toasty oak and are delivered by wine with a lusciously soft texture. The finish, while satisfying, is not so satiating that you won’t want another glass."
Alcohol: 14.3%
