Vineyard Notes
Amador County is extremely well suited to Zinfandel. Zinfandel has been grown in the Amador County Gold Rush area for over 150 years. Vineyards sources are the Bowman Vineyard and York Vineyard.
Winemaker Notes
2017 was the first full vintage no longer being affected by the previous drought. Good winter rains produced a flavorful healthy crop. The late harvest allowed the grapes to ripen long into the fall developing full complex flavored wines

This bright, refreshing and complex Zinfandel pairs well with roasted and grilled meats and sweet and savory sauces.
