2004 Sin Zin Zinfandel
Alexander Valley, California

The label of this fruity Zinfandel tells the story: a figure, clearly relaxing in the summer sun, tips back a horn, obviously enjoying a cooling drink from its contents. The Sin Zi ...moren, in fact, is a perfect summer red, with lots of rich fruit aromas including raspberry, plum, and black cherry. It's full-bodied, but has a touch higher acidity than many Zins, which keeps it refreshing and food-friendly.

2004 Zinfandel

ZMV produced a lovely Zinfandel from Cooper Ranches in Amador County this year. This vineyard is over 25 years old and head-trained to produce superb grapes. It is a very popular w ...moreine in our tasting room. Our Zin won a silver medal in the Calaveras County Fair Wine Competition and is full-bodied, fruity, and with the hint of pepper characteristic of Zinfandel. You will like the good mouth feel and strong, interesting finish. The aroma and flavors contain cherry, berry, black pepper and spice. It is a very versatile wine and can be served with marinated leg of lamb, barbequed beef, spaghetti, or pizza.

Sweet cherry and wild berry fruit with chocolate undertones. This wine has wonderful, deep aromas and is very smooth and elegant in the mouth. Underlying hints of nutmeg and cinnam ...moreon. The dry-farmed, old vines give us the base. Our natural winemaking and gentle handling allow us to extract the flavors while keeping the complexity and harmony. Sweet but not overly so, this wine is superb with chocolate dessert or fruit salad. Enjoy!

2005 Buck's Ten Point Zinfandel
Amador County

This has become one of our most popular wines. Not only because it tastes good, but also because it is made largely from our own grapes which are simply farmed and therefore the wi ...morene can be priced moderately. We aim for a fruity easy drinking style and we certainly achieved that with the 2004 vintage. This 2005 rendition has quite a bit more backbone which seems a characteristic of the wines from the year. Therefore this Ten Point will benefit from age if you are so inclined. In the meantime enjoy the zippy young fruit and aggressive freshness. It is so forward it is better with food than consumed alone, being surprisingly compatable with cuisine â€œpicanteâ€ For example, we enjoyed the wine watching football and nibbling Doritos Spicy Nachos, a healthier anti-oxidant low-carb beer substitution on defense (should also work well with baseball come April. We will investigate and report).

2005 Zinfandel, Redwood Valley
Redwood Valley

Redwood Valley (covering about 35 square miles), was first settled and planted by Italian immigrants in the 1850â€™s, but did not gain official status as an appellation until 1997. ...more California coastal ranges protect the valley from much of the cooling influence of the Pacific Ocean, allowing Zinfandel grapes to come to full ripeness.

On the nose, our Redwood Valley Zinfandel is reminiscent of cherry pie: cherries enhanced by vanilla and cinnamon. Hints of bitter chocolate and vanilla add depth to ripe cherry and raspberry flavors.

This Zinfandel is a bit softer and less assertive than other Zinfandels, and can therefore be served with foods that might not be normally associated with Zinfandel: try it with grilled vegetables, roast chicken, or a hearty vegetable soup.

2003 Zinfandel
Napa Valley

Raspberries, cranberries and red apple along with hints of cracked black pepper engage the nose. Our Zin can be gregarious about its toasty oak notes of vanilla and caramel while r ...moreemaining delicate about the subtle scents of rose petals. The palate is full bodied, and rounded through to the finish. Fresh berries and baking spices hit the palate first. The oak shows peaks through the fruit with rich toasty qualities and layers of tannin. The finish of the wine has flavors of warm blueberry pie.

2004 Zinfandel
El Dorado County

Two vineyards provide us with fruit for our Zinfandel. One gives lots of black pepper, and the other loads of ripe fruit flavor. We vinify them separately and decide on the blend a ...morefter at least one year in the barrel. In 2004, the intensity of this Zin and its purity of fruit made us decide not to blend it with any other varieties.

Boysenberries and sweet oak vanilla dominate the nose of this classic Zinfandel, along with just a hint of spice. Ripe raspberry flavors fill the mouth upon entry. The youthful nature of this wine is evident in its body and tannin. A varietal brambly quality comes out with some air. The barrel influence is considerable, with pastry and toast in the mid- palate and finish.

2003 Zinfandel
El Dorado County

The 2003 Zinfandel is from the 25 year old vines of Herbert Vineyard, located in the Fairplay Appellation. The vines are head trained and drip irrigated. Harvest was undertaken aft ...moreer extensive thinning. Any clusters with pink berries were dropped, along with multiple passes to remove any raisins.

The color of the wine is bright ruby and gives aromas of boysenberry and brambly. Some vanilla and alluring freshly baked pastry aromas as well. This shows distinct Sierra Foothill Zinfandel varietal quality â€“ fruit with some spice, both balanced and intense. Cardamom flavors are pronounced, red fruit â€“ cherries and black raspberry. Nice textural quality from the barrel aging. Some smoky and toast complexity to go with the fruit.
