Tight nose, but as you let it sit. It opens up, and softens up. Would buy again

Smells delicious but a bit lighter body than you would expect, hot alcohol and a bit jammy as it’s lacking tartness. For a value #zinfandel I like the Bogel I’ve tasted recently much better. That being said, Scott Harvey sets the standard for Amador County Zins.

Strong Zin, berry notes. Paired well with spicy chicken flatbread and okay with dark chocolate.
