Shenandoah Valley Zinfandel

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!

Old vines 140 year old on some of the blend . Red / dark fruits with good balance . Very good

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

I’m not sure if this one just didn’t age well in the bottle, but it was a bit of a disappointment. Water logged wood in a core of grape and raisin juice was the gist of it. Completely lacking in nuance.

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.

Nice, smooth wine with notes of black fruit.

Unusual zin, spicy with a hint of sweetness.

Bleh... Smooth but bleh...

Excellent!
