Easton Amador County Zinfandel 2018

A powerful yet elegant Zinfandel aged in French oak and further bottle aged until ready to drink. Winemaker Bill Easton believes his wine should be balanced and long lived and this Zinfandel is a prime example of his tireless work. Compared to other red wines, Easton Amador Zinfandel
is distinguished by its vibrant intensity and signature Amador spice—qualities that make it the perfect choice for those who want a big, expressive wine that still plays well at the dining table.

 The nose is bursting with ripe blackberry, pepper, and hints of toasted oak for an inviting first impression. The palate is full-bodied with lush black cherry, brambly fruit, and baking spice, balanced by velvety tannins and lively acidity. And the finish presents as long and smooth with notes of vanilla and a touch of dark chocolate that linger pleasantly.

"In a week, this has become my favorite bottle in the shop. Without the addition of heavy grapes including Petite Sirah, this 100% Amador County Zinfandel is what Zinfandel should taste like.
This is the grape and only the grape!" Gina
