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

Anika Casa Cassara Vineyard Grenache 2018

Raj Parr Anika Grenache - incredible wine. Slight barnyard nose, bold start on the palate with nice tannins and then a very light reveal of some white pepper spice. Like a brash farmer bursting into the room to then recite some lovely verses. — 5 years ago

Never Say Never Dead Fred Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2016

The Never Say Never Cabernet Sauvignon from Raj Parr is sourced from the Dead Fred Vineyard in Napa Valley's Coombsville AVA, which is organically farmed by Steve Mathiasson. This traditional style Cabernet shows wonderful elegance and refinement, as it opens to inviting aromas of dark/red currants, red berry tea, zesty florals, tobacco, crushed graphite and a savory/herbal character that all take shape and emerge gracefully from the glass. On the palate this possesses a gorgeous medium-body that is impeccably balanced and well-structured with velvety tannins and wonderful acidity providing terrific freshness. It goes on to impress with its lovely bright character, displaying delicious mouth watering flavors of currants, crushed violets, fresh tobacco and zesty undertones which continue to linger all the way through the precisely focused finish. The 2016 is a beautifully crafted Cabernet that shows plenty of energy and verve in its youth, however readers should allow this beauty some time to settle down and mature, as it shows incredible promise to evolve and age exceptionally well for years to come. — 6 years ago

Combe Ballard Canyon Trousseau 2017

Shay A
9.1

This was a head scratcher. Combe is a joint partnership between Stolpman and Rajat Parr. Certainly not as floral or sweet as Arnot Roberts Trousseau or even Sandlands. This was like a more herbal version of Cru Beaujolais, minus the carbonic maceration. Super tight and locked up on day 1, gaining more savory and herbal notes on day 2. Cloudy in the glass. Oregano dusted cherries and sour red fruit gummies on the nose. On day 2, it gained a salted/cured meat savory note too. Puréed strawberries with bay leaf and peppercorn on the finish. Acidity and tannins are down the middle, but this seems to be a bit more structured (ie, less gummy) than other Trousseaus I’ve had. Seems organic. Best enjoyed with a slight chill. — 6 years ago

So a win for an interesting wine? Great notes. I’ve had Arnot Roberts and Sandlands (which I love) but the Combe just strikes more of the old world nuances of Trousseau from Jura for me with the unfiltered cloud, salty, savory, and meaty characteristics, as opposed to the gummy red fruit in the glass of a new world Trousseau (to broadly generalize).

@Clare Gillette : Yes, totally agree on that generalization. Definitely a fun wine, and wines like this help me break out of the typical comfort wines while also helping to educate! We’ll have to do a Trousseau comparison at Classic one of these days.
