Wow! These folks know how to do wine. This is the way Amador County Zin is done. Great cherry bouquet, light to medium body, fruit forward, smooth mild tannin, medium finish. The winemaker is the inventor of Captain Crunch and Clif bars! A true food scientist!

Sumptuous and juicy with notes of briar, spice, red and black fruit. Medium body, opulent with balanced acid.

Delicious! Bursting with fruit. Light tanin. Slight touch of licorice on the back end.

Great nose. Fruity finish. Paired nicely with a smoked pork roast with rosemary paprika rub.
