Zinfandel, Russian River 'Old Vine' Amy's Vineyard, 2006

Zinfandel, Russian River 'Old Vine' Amy's Vineyard, 2006 Wine Details
Price: $44.00 per bottle

Description: The fruit from Amy’s Vineyard is hand-selected by Steve and Amy from vines along the top of a knoll near the Russian River that are close to 100 years old. Amy took a passion to this vineyard since the first day she strolled up the knoll. A beautiful sunset, a calm, cool breeze that turns to brisk night air, not only brings out the best in this lovely Zinfandel year after year, it does the same for Amy every time she strolls the knoll. Light green peppercorns sneak out of this rich jammy, raspberry, plum and candied cherry nose. Vanilla introduces the palate to bold flavors of strawberry and raspberry preserves. The finish cries out ripe raspberries, oak and a distinctive white pepper. A previous vintage of this wine received a 4 Star Gold Medal from the Orange County Fair Wine Competition.
