RATINGS

95Vinous / IWC

Everything comes together in the glass. The 2010 is rich, powerful and intense, yet wonderfully nuanced for such a big wine. Floral and spice notes add lift, but it is the dark blue/purple Petite Sirah fruit that dominates.

94+ The Wine Advocate

...a tremendous wine endowed with serious depth. Explosive and powerful, the 2010 covers every inch of the palate with black cherries, plums, menthol, and melted road tar. Hints of exotic spices develop later...

94Wine Spectator

A rich, explosive mix of blueberry, blackberry and dried berry, with crushed rock, roasted coffee, mineral and cedar accents. Despite displaying power and intensity, this shows a touch of subtlety and finesse.

REGION

United States, California, Sierra Foothills, Amador County

Sierra Foothills AVA is in the western foothills of the Sierra Nevada Mountains, and it includes parts of eight counties. With total acreage of 2.6 million acres, and nearly 6,000 vineyard acres, it is one of the largest appellations in California. Wine grapes were planted in the foothills during the Gold Rush in the mid-19th century and the appellation was officially recognized in 1987. There are five sub-appellations within the Sierra Foothills region, and more than 100 wineries, most small and family-owned. Zinfandel is the most successful wine grape in this region, though Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay are also planted.
