Tasting profile
Structure: full-bodied, high tannin, medium acidity, dry
Zinfandel from Amador County in the Sierra Foothills, old gold-rush country where some of California's oldest Zinfandel vines still stand. Amador gives the variety more structure and less sweetness than the warm valley floor: brambly blackberry and raspberry with black pepper, dried herb and a dusty, earthy finish. Full-bodied with firm tannin and a savoury edge that keeps the ripeness in check. Zinfandel with grip rather than jam, and it holds well for a decade.
