A perfectly pleasant rustic zin, with loads of blackberry fruit and a bit more wood than it needs and an ample but not unpleasant tannic structure. It's not going to win any awards for complexity, but offers an honest old vine zin experience at a reasonable price.

Yet another great Zinfandel from Sobon Estate! On top of their wines being fantastic they are family owned, super friendly, and easy to talk to. Tom Quinn is hilarious and super informative with the history and all their wines, as well as the world of wine. Visit them in Amador County California!

This is a very popular wine at our country club in Elk Grove. We are personal friends with the family that owns the winery. All of the Sobon wines are delicious. Rocky Top is a favorite.

Enjoyed with Lindsay over Christmas 2013. She encouraged me to try their other zins, including fiddle town.

Served slightly chilled this is fruity and spicy - peppers and berries but very smooth.

It's no Fiddletown. Probably better than a lot of zins at this price though. Holds up well to being open 24 hours.
