2005 Shenandoah Valley Zinfandel

Bonneau Zinfandel is 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. 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, 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 10 months in high quality French oak barrels, you may enjoy this wine currently or allow for additional aging in the bottle. 420 cases were produced.
