Producing amazing Zinfandel is Renwood Winery's speciality. Founded in 1993, the winery is so closely associated with great Old Vine Zinfandel, it seems even older. They produce world-class, award-winning wines that reflect Amador's rich history of magnificent vineyards and winemaking. One of the largest and most respected wine producers in the Sierra Foothills, Renwood has long enjoyed an enviable reputation for crafting excellent wines. They strive to make wines that impart the texture, freshness and finesse of which great Zin is capable. Their goal is create wines that are approachable, delicious and appealing. The Grandpere Zinfandel is made from the oldest known clone of Zinfandel in America. It's Renwood's flagship wine and maybe their finest Zinfandel ever. The 2019 Renwood Grandpere Zinfandel is the showstopper of this storied estate and seriously complex. It is rich, well-balanced and classically styled with great freshness. It has notes of dark fruits, blackberry pie, allspice, green earth, sweet herbs and crushed berries. This Zinfandel is a real stunner. Enjoy!
Wine Enthusiast, 94 Points
"This classic-style Zin is complex, appetizing and well-balanced, from its sage, raspberry and baked earth aromas to lightly tangy but ripe plum, dried cherry and black-pepper flavors. Moderate tannins and good acidity give it great freshness, inviting more and more sips. Best through 2028. *Cellar Selection*"
Winemaker Notes:
"Deep purple color right to the rim. Aromatically, this is dark black fruits like mulberry, boysenberry, blueberry, and black-skinned plums, all very fresh, without a hint of raisin. Cedar and some new oak, fresh tobacco, and vanilla top off the nose, and there’s a seriousness to the complex blending here. Low, restricted yields in our “top of blocks 2 and 3” portion of the vineyard create There’s a not-so-subtle weightiness in the mouth, rich, blackberry pie, allspice, warm green earth and bricks, sweet herbs, and crushed berries. Petite Sirah provides a powerful push to give the wine more lift, intensity, and length."
