Rinaldi Vineyard Old Vine Zinfandel 2014

Fruity with blackberry, plum, cherry, vanilla and oak on the nose and palate. Bold with medium acidity and tannin. High alcohol, which is evident on the palate. Long blackberry finish.

Sobon Estate

Fiddletown Zinfandel 2016

Lovely rosy color. Smells like flowers (roses and lavenders) and smokey berries. Flavor is smooth and elegant for Zin. Plenty of licorice and dried fruits. Plums and cherries. Bit of zingy-minty stuff on the tongue. Kinda hot on the back of the tongue. Balanced and lovely though. — 5 years ago

If it were a cola, it would be Dr Pepper. Easy to drink, but hmmmmm I just don't know. — 7 years ago

Domaine de la Terre Rouge

DTR Ranch Syrah 2015

A lot going on in this wine… needs some time to come together. I imagined running over cherries lying on a hot asphalt road and throwing it on a charcuterie board. — 6 months ago

Amador County Petite Sirah 2014

Another day in the pandemic.. another bottle of wine. I purchased a whole case of 2014 Fiddletown Cellars Petite Sirah when I read an article saying this wine was affordable and would age well. Tonight we gave one of those bottles a try... perhaps a bit early, but, even now, the wine is quite nice! It is inky dark. On the nose the slight dark fruit smell is pushed aside by the smell of peppery bay leaves (the greenness may be an indication that wine will be even better with more time). But, as stated, the wine is going down smooth tonight, even with it’s pronounced tannic structure, or is accessible and food friendly. — 4 years ago
