Great old Amador zin. Still youthful, with an abundance of fruit and spice, but with the silkiness and complexity that age brings. Recent vintages at Renwood don't seem to show this promise under new ownership.

Dark red and black cherries on the nose. Hot on palate with smooth tannins. Smooth despite the heat. Don't think winery is still in business.

This is a 2008. I see it listed at $52, but it's not worth over 20.
