Top Notes For
Sipping Fine Wine

Nestled on a Southwest facing hillside in one of the higher elevations (near 3000 feat) in the Sierra foothills is a vineyard that was planted before the turn of the last century by the original owners, D’Agostini family. Bought by Leon Sobon (Shenandoan Vineyards) in the early 1990s. Deep red with purple tones and aromas of dark fruit and pepper spice. On the palate plum and cherry flavors with toasty oak notes and black pepper. Fine tannins, nice balance on medium finish, great value.

Zin is a favorite varietal and this is from my old stomping grounds in Amador County. Always a favorite winery and this Rocky Top plot produces great flavors!

Spicy attack - almost effervescent - with a pleasant finish! High overtones of currant, including on the nose.
