This Zinfandel is an amazing food wine, not sweet or jammy, with restrained oak. It has nice dusty tannins and minerality, with a silky smooth finish. Bright cherry and chalky flavors predominate, with some red bell pepper and dark currant tones to the finish.

I won a bet and got some wines from my friend Geoff at Fresno State. This is the first one I’ve cracked open. Has the right Zin color with a deep purple almost black hue and a perfect ruby edge. Smells like blackberry jam, creosote and hot wet rocks. Maybe just a hint of some chemical solvent or thing from paints. Flavors are on point and in the pocket for Amador style Zin. Blackberry, Cherry and Huckleberries meets mocha and smoke. This is barbque and summer pies wine. Zingy and crystalline. Not syrupy or extra dense like Old Vine Zin in Lodi can be. This is an amazing start in my Fres-Yes wine winnings!
