Clockspring Zinfandel
Amador Foothill Winery
|
lush spicy and cherry/berry aromas lead to rich cherry and raspberry fruit flavors accented with peppery spice and nuances of cocoa. Well-balanced with ripe tannins and a lingering finish, the wine can be enjoyed by itself or with food. Enjoy this wine with traditional Zinfandel fare such as barbecue, pizzas, and grilled lamb chops, or with red-sauced pasta dishes or ratatouille.

Fermentation Notes
The fruit was handled gently through the fermentation and pressing to keep harsh tannins to a minimum. The wine was aged in American and French oak, but only a few new barrels were used to keep the emphasis on the vibrant fruit flavors.
