Amador County Wine Tasting Notes


1997 Montevina
Amador County Barbera
Score: 87.0
"An angular, full-bodied, earthy wine with intense plummy fruit and potting soil aromas, silky texture, moderate tannin and a spicy finish. "
1996 Montevina Terra dOro
Amador County Barbera $18.00
Score: 91.0
"This is a glorious Barbera with an ever expanding nose of tart cherry, cardamom and dried flowers that follows through the palate, which displays light body, perfectly integrated tannin, and a fresh tart fruit and spice finish that lingers for minutes."
1997 Chateau Potelle Old Vines
Amador County Zinfandel
Score: 86.0
"The nose is somewhat subdued, but the flavors are full raspberry and cherry pie. It has fine structure, medium-full body, firm tannin, and a chewy finish. Good for red meat, chili and other full-flavored dishes. "
