RATINGS

95Vinous / IWC

...endowed with serious density from start to finish. Blueberry jam, crème de cassis, lavender, cloves and licorice are bold and luscious in the glass.

94James Suckling

A layered and rich wine with so much richness and tension at the same time. Nothing is overdone here. Blackberry and blueberry character. Full and flavorful.

93Wine Spectator

Broad and burly, but wrapped in a polished exterior, with plump blueberry, tar and sandalwood accents that take on power toward the bold but refined tannins.

93Jeb Dunnuck

...pure, elegant bouquet of blueberries, caramelized black cherries, graphite, smoked earth, and leafy herbs...full-bodied richness, awesome intensity and depth of fruit, good freshness, and a great finish...

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.
