Produced in the old world style of balanced wine making. The wine expresses the Amador Zinfandel terroir with good balance of fruit, French Oak, structural tannins and medium alcohol. Briary varietal Zinfandel. Notes of roses, pomegranate, bright red fruits, white pepper and Redwood forest. The long, lingering finish makes this a complete wine from beginning to end.  A combination of the Old Vine Norton/DeMille vineyard and Vineyard 1869, along with a touch of dry port varieties and Amador Barbera.  Enjoy now through 2025

"Composed, complex and complete.  This mellow wine is very comfortable in it's skin.  Touches of oak, tobacco, dried plum and cardamom, fill the aroma, and ripe, but not overripe, black cherry, tamarind and cola flavors flood the palate, supported by fine-grained tannins and medium-full body."  Jim Gordon, Wine Enthusiast
