Terra D'Oro 2009 Zinfandel, Amador
Zinfandel vines arrived in Amador County along with the gold rush pioneers in the mid-1800's and Zin has been grown there ever since under ideal warm-climate conditions. Terra D'Oro head trains and spur prunes all of it Zinfandel vines to lower yields and concentrate flavors. Hand selected lots go into the crusher and are then bled off to further enhance extraction and intensity. Aging takes place in Hungarian, French and American oak barrels for thirteen months. The resulting wine shows sweet, ripe flavors along with zesty spice. Black plums, wild blackberries, molasses, cinnamon and vanilla flavors wash over your tongue. A real treat that work beautifully with barbecue and rich foods. A great value wine.

            we purchased the 2008 and found it outstanding. The 2009 is very good, but short of the 2008.

              Comments about Terra D'Oro 2009 Zinfandel, Amador:

              Once again, the Terra D'Oro Amador Zin is a standout value wine in its price range. I served it next to a Zin almost 3 times the price at a recent BBQ and my guests either preferred it or thought it was just as tasty as the much more expensive wine. Lots of brambly fruit with chocolate, hints of vanilla and a spicy finish. Perfect BBQ wine for the summer at a fantastic price!
