San Hercurmer delle Frecce Shake Ridge Vineyard Barbera 2018

Tart black cherry, anise, pine and alpine vibes, high acidity, low spicy tannins.
A beautiful Cali Barbera with the acidity and spice of Piemonte, with the high toned fruit of California sunshine. I love!

Sobon Estate

Rocky Top Zinfandel 2016

Fairly fruity on the nose. Hint of black pepper and something earthy/mineral. Flavor is very dry. Dried strawberries and red vines. Classic jammy Zin thing. Some pomegranate molasses perhaps. Fresh and zinfulliciuos. Plenty of tannin to give it more bite than Zin usually achieves. Complex. True. Enjoyable. — 5 years ago

Hillside Amador County Zinfandel 2015

Dark cherry, big flowers and leather on the nose. little peppery first then long dark fruit finish. Lots going on here. Like it.

A less know AVA for wine but, that doesn’t mean they don’t offer up meaningful wines. Amador deserves more wine lovers attention.

Dig it. All the trademark Buccella traits like plush candied oak with a Rhone skeleton of wild game and pepper. Cool neon purple too. Looks like they got a new winemaker in -15? Fingers crossed. — 7 years ago

Gluttony Old Vine Amador County Zinfandel 2006

2006. 8yr old Zin from Lodi. This used to be a bruiser of a wine. Now it's quite balanced, nuanced, and at the end of its life. Very vegetal with green bean and English pea aromas, balsam, and tasting of an amalgam of stewed raisined cherry, black currant , oak, mushroom, and white pepper. 16.5%abv. — 10 years ago
