Vineyard Notes:
The Bonneau Zinfandel was produced from grapes grown on the warm and gently rolling knolls of Shenandoah Valley in Amador County - located approximately halfway between Lake Tahoe and Yosemite National Park. It is a classic rendition of the varietal, and an exemplary representative of this region.
Tasting Notes:
The wine shows a deep purple-ruby hue accompanied by fragrant suggestions of blackberries, dark plums, raspberries and cassis with supporting notes of black pepper and oily spices (clove and nutmeg). On the palate the wine is smooth, juicy and plump with great integration of fruit and spice, with full body and great purity. The finish is long and refined. Having been aged 18 months in high quality French Oak barrels, you may enjoy this wine currently or allow for additional aging in the bottle. Less than 600 cases were produced.
Food Pairings:
Pasta, red sauces, robust cheese, lamb and venison.
