2019 | Terra d'Oro | Zinfandel

The 2019 Terra d’Oro Amador County Zinfandel displays the classic characteristics unique to this region. Enticing aromas of cacao, raspberry jam, clove, cedar, anise, orange zest, Rainier cherry, and warmed cream. This wine boasts an elegant entry with warming spices, pomegranate, and black currant before leading to a savory finish with juicy, round tannins.

Reviews:

• Wine Enthusiast: Very fruity and generous, this full-bodied wine is packed with ripe strawberries and black plums for a rich, mouthcoating effect. Not noticeably tannic, it is smooth and almost sweet in texture.

• James Suckling: Raspberry jam and some dried yet racy strawberries to the nose. Generous and fruity with some opulent sweet fruit on the fresh, medium-bodied palate. Fine, ripe tannins are present and supportive. A well-balanced zinfandel which I would happily drink again!

Producer Information

For more than 150 years, fortune seekers have been lured to California’s rugged Sierra Foothills. Though they once came for the gold, these days they come for the wine—Terra d’Oro, to be more specific. Handcrafted from some of Amador County’s most historic vineyards, these wines are rich indeed, full of the character and intensity that perfectly captures the essence of this "Land of Gold." As the first new post-prohibition winery in the Sierra Foothills, Terra d’Oro helped to return both Amador County and Zinfandel to the attention of fine wine aficionados everywhere and to remake the Sierra Nevada foothills as one of the best wine regions around. Terra d’Oro quickly gained a reputation for crafting robust, full-flavored wines. They now have 400 acres of magnificent, sustainably grown estate vines- including historic, old vine vineyards producing delicious Pinot Grigio, Moscato, Chenin Viognier, Barbera, Sangiovese, Petite Sirah, Zinfandel and more. Their historic tasting room in Plymouth welcomes those seeking world-class wines.
