RATINGS

92+ John Gilman

...offering up a superb bouquet of black raspberries, pepper, spiced meats, woodsmoke, a touch of mustard seed, lovely soil tones and a nice touch of spicy new oak in the upper register. On the palate the wine is pure, full-bodied and beautifully soil driven, with a fine core, suave, fine-grained tannins, excellent acidity and a very long, focused and complex finish of impeccable balance and grip.

REGION

United States, California, Sierra Foothills, El Dorado

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.
