This wine is classic Zinfandel, but also has some pleasant surprises. For one, winemaker John Bambury has crafted that rare California Zinfandel that works well with food. The wine shows a beautiful dark fruit profile topped by a filigree of red raspberries and the tell-tale Zinfandel markers – mouth-watering wafts of dark licorice and fresh ground pepper.
From an old historic Sonoma family, this wine reminds me of the Zins I fell in love with in the 80’s. Pop the cork and drink a piece of history!
Just 420 cases produced.
Cheers!
Though this wine is from the warm reaches of the Shenandoah Valley (about ½ way between Lake Tahoe and Yosemite) in hot Amador County (home to many Monster Zins with alcohol in the 16% range) this wine runs counter to sterotype. An elegant body and a moderate 14.1% alcohol level.
