Vanillin oak makes a big play for attention right from the start here and is a sustained, but not overly pushy adjunct to this one's principal theme of well-defined, berry-like fruit. While the wine begins on a supple note that briefly suggests that it's a Zinfandel best tagged for drinking in the short term, it tightens and firms up in a hurry and shows the tannic, Amador grip of one that, in fact, warrants a bit of time before rounding in to its best. Hasty drinking is not advised here, and its path to better will extend for another four to six years. (9/2017)
Tasted several times in a room literally full of Zin at ZAP in San Francisco, this wine was an absolute stand-out performer. (Ryan Woodhouse, K&L Domestic Wine buyer) The winemaker's notes: "Intensely ripe cherry fruit nose with honey, and sweet notes of spice and a hint of bay leaf. On the palate, blackberry and vanilla bean, and a very complex layer of flavors with hints of Herbs de Provence. This classic Fiddletown Zinfandel offers exceptional balance."
