Amador County Chenin Blanc 2017

Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of an hour. No formal notes due to the setting however, looking back on my previous notes, that assessment still applies. The 2017 Amador County continues to be an absolutely delicious expression of the variety. Drink now through 2032.  — 9 days ago

Shake Ridge Vineyard Grenache Blend 2017

One of my faves. This is tasting awesome right now. Great acidity, light, bright fruits still, white pepper, hint of baking spice, some floral notes. So well balanced. — 3 months ago

Bedrock Wine Co.

Esola Vineyard Zinfandel 2023

Deep, rich berry nose accented by animal, feral notes. Not necessarily prototypical Zin characteristics. But really nice. On the palate, however, it’s more typical. Earthy, sandstoney blackberry fruit, really nice balance of richness, acids, and tannin. Very long finish. I love the Zins from this vineyard, but I think I heard somewhere this is the last vintage they’re making from here. 😥 — 2 months ago

Vineyard 1869 Old Vine Zinfandel 2021

Truncated family party notes. This wine was so relaxed and comfortable in its skin. Deep flavors. Soft, luxurious texture. Vines this old are so quietly confident they don’t feel the need to try to impress anyone. I hope I reach this state someday. — 6 months ago
