2023 Zinfandel, Amador County
Bold, jammy and proudly Californian, this is Zinfandel for people who love the grape. Dark fruit comes on ripe and concentrated, with real complexity and tannin structure behind it, and the finish stays balanced.
Amador County’s hot days and cool nights ripen the fruit fully, and its volcanic and granitic soils add a mineral edge that sets it apart.
2023 brought a dry winter, normal bud break and flowering, and then a hot summer. The fruit came in beautifully ripe, concentrated and dark. We gave it extended maceration, then 18 months in French oak, for a wine with rich fruit and plenty of structure.
