...in Amador on Saturday for 2 hours. Whole lamb on a spit roasted. Fresh pizza. Indian food. A band. And terrific zinfandels - my favorites of the ones they were pouring: 1. Dusi - everyone's favorite. Fruit forward and lighter. Very drinkable. 2. Mead Ranch - not as fruit forward. A little bigger and more complex. 3. Old Vines - poured out of magnums. Nice balance of fruit and spice. 4. Turley Estate - very good. 5. Dr. Bell - not as fruity or as good as the others. 6. I also tasted the Rattlesnake Petite Syrah (one of three they had) but I'm not much for petite syrahs. 7. They were also pouring out of their library. I had a 1999 Hayne zin $95 that was surprising good but ready to drink right away, like in the next 24 hours, the girl said. The Dusi was $50 and the rest were in the $40s. I didn't get the years on the wines but they were all current releases, probably 2016s. |
