The nose is animal and a little harsh- but in the mouth opens up to be soft, full bodied, with dark fruit coating tannins. Big and easy. Enjoyed! — 6 years ago

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! — 9 years ago

Nose: pepper and jam with hints of onion. Very savory with hints of cocoa powder.

Palate: deliciously mellow, with a smooth, lingering finish. Mild tannin, berry and licorice.
Truly a killer cab!! — 10 years ago

First time. A pleasant surprise. Big cherry. Vanilla. Prunes and bursts of blackberry. Rolled off palate. — 6 years ago

This quickly became one of my favorite wineries! Friendly, approachable, small production, delicious food products and delicious wines! This vintage is 96% Merlot, 3% Petit Verdot, and 1% Malbec. I get loads of blueberry, cedar, licorice, flowers (maybe violets), cherry and a hint of peppermint here. Medium body with medium grippy tannins that carry flavors of cherry, licorice and a flint like flavor. Give it time to breathe. Made very much in a old world less fruit forward manner. — 7 years ago
