This epitomizes fine Sierra Foothills Zinfandel, offering vibrant, briary raspberry, smoked pepper and wild sweet anise flavors that stretch out on the zesty finish. *Ranked #45 in Wine Spectator Top 100 of 2018, Smart Buy* (TF)

A velvety texture and extremely concentrated black-fruit flavors make this full-bodied wine delicious to savor. It has beautiful big tannins that are well integrated, luxurious blackberry, sage and cedar flavors, plus great length on the finish. *Editors' Choice* (JG)

Notes

Bill Easton has been making wine in Amador County for more than three decades. Native to Sacramento, Bill fell in love with Rhône varieties while working at a wine shop in the Bay Area after attending UC Berkley. The foothills and terroir of Amador back home reminded him so much of the valley in France he decided it was where he would devote his life's work. Bill bottles all Rhône varieties under his label Terre Rouge, and the wines have received nothing but acclaim and accolades; including the Lifetime Achievement Award from the Rhône Rangers, a Wine & Spirits magazine "Top 100 Wineries" spot, and a nomination for Winemaker of the Year by Wine Enthusiast magazine. He is devoted to "listening to what the vineyards have to say" and reflecting the land the grapes are grown on. Bill bottles all other varieties under his namesake label Easton, and seeks to elevate the Sierra Foothills wine region and its long history.
