River Junction, San Joaquin County

TASTING NOTES:

The 2025 Muscat Canelli has a medium straw color. Upon pouring you may observe a very finecloud of minuscule bubbles that quickly rises to the surface anddissipates. This is the last of thecarbon dioxide from the fermentation. Onthe palate these bubbles, while not as large or as strong as soda pop orsparkling wine can be felt as a fine tingle as if the wine is dancing acrossyour tongue. The aromas are of crispgreen apple with notes of pear, peach, and apricot. There are also sweet scents of citrusblossoms along with floral notes of honeysuckle and lilac. On the palate the wine reflects the flavorsof ripe sweet Muscat grapes. Muscat is awine that does indeed mirror the flavors of the ripe grape. While sweet there is plenty of balancingacidity, particularly malic acid the predominate acid in apples. This bright tartness is the key to keepingthe wine refreshing. This is dessert ina glass, something you might imagine coming from an apple tart having beenliquified and chilled.

Shake Ridge Ranch, Amador County

TASTING NOTES:

The2024 Tempranillo has ruby purple color of medium depth. The hues have a carmine edge despite the lowpH. The Tempranillo fruit is representedby black currants, dried fig, black cherry and dark plums. The terroir is expressedby scents of leather, tobacco, dill, and mineral. Just over a year of aging in small oak barrelsprovides a bouquet that includes notes of cocoa as well as a bit of tobacco andcedar to the bouquet. The featuredflavors are savory ripe mulberries and cassis along with soft creamy almost sweet,toasted oak, and milk chocolate. This isan incredibly smooth vintage of Ann’s Tempranillo. While the 2023 wine from Shake Ridge wasfairly tannic and merited some time in the cellar, the 2024 vintage is silkyand ready to be enjoyed now. I am notsure if a year or two in the bottle will generate a more complex wine. There are plenty of nuances already present. I am looking forward to drinking this winewith paella and trying it with a couple of chili rellenos. If you have the time to prepare cassoulet, itis a classic dish to pair with Tempranillo.

Peroni Ranch Estate, Amador County

TASTING NOTES:

The 2025 Grenachehas a garnet-ruby color of good depth especially for a variety not known forits color. The hues of this wine leandecidedly towards purple and away from the terra cotta-orange cast that iscommon to Grenache. The acidity of thiswine provides a brightness to its youthful hues. Aromas of juicy red fruits; cherry, currant,and raspberry team up with a bouquet of buttered toast, caramel, and almondpaste to generate a sultry invitation. Succulent red cherry, and bright redraspberry flavors are delivered by a wine with a silky texture and a creamy oakcomplexity. The tannins are so mild theyare almost to the point of being non-existent. This is an easy drinking wine perfect for a warm summer evening on thepatio with lighter grilled fare seasoned with spices like cumin, allspice andcinnamon or a salad with a protein.

Nostro Vino Vineyard, Amador County

TASTING NOTES:

The 2024"R" Zinfandel from the Nostro Vino Vineyard has a ruby purple color ofmoderate depth with the beginnings of a carmine hue. Imagine a mid-summer evening in a briar patchwhere most of the berries are ripe but some have started to dry in thesun. The soft warm aromas of wild blackberriesand huckleberries have been captured in the aroma of this wine. Our standard aging regime for this wine of eighteenmonths of barrel aging in both American and French oak has created a bouquet ofsweet vanilla, milk chocolate and almond paste. On the palate, thick flavors of ripe marionberry are joined with thoseof deeply toasted oak. This wine has afull supple texture with a healthy dose of oak tannin. The finish is long and harmonious with thefruit and oak playing equal roles. Thisis a versatile wine. I like it withgrilled meat, especially lamb. It alsogoes well with lasagna, moussaka, and Mediterranean cuisine, especially pasta withtomato-based sauces.

2024 Teroldego
Buy Now: $33.00

Creekside Vineyard, Lodi

TASTING NOTES:

DidI say Teroldego grapes provide good color? Well check this out. The 2024 Teroldegohas a deep inky color that surpasses that of even Petite Sirah. Thomas Jefferson would have been happy to diphis quill into an inkwell full of Teroldego. While most wines have a purple, garnet, or magenta hue, Teroldego’s colorleans towards blue/black Aromas ofmulberry, black cherry, wood smoke, and roasted meat are joined by a distinctivefloral scent I am at a loss to identify. It isn’t a citrus flower but something darkerwith a musky quality. The bouquet needssome time in the glass to emerge, and the patient will be rewarded with oursignature bouquet of hazelnut and caramel along with notes of cinnamon, cloveand allspice. Savory flavors of plum,pomegranate, and roasted grain are delivered by a wine with a juicy succulenttexture. Teroldego’s deep color foreshadowsa wine loaded with extract, but this wine is surprisingly smooth andsupple. The finish has plenty of roastedoak paired with blackberry flavors that linger well after the wine is gone. Cassolette, lasagna, Tyrolean goulash orsteak Florentine. Take your pick. I think you will be pleased with Teroldego inany rich savory setting.

2024 Zinfandel Estate
Buy Now: $42.00

Peroni Ranch Estate, Amador County

TASTING NOTES:

The 2024 Estate GrownPeroni Ranch Zinfandel has a gorgeous deep ruby color. The hues are bright and youthful with just asuggestion of carmine at the edges. The aromas are of classic ‘Old VineZinfandel’; briary blackberry, black raspberry, and dark cherry are joined by aviolet perfume and reflect my take on this style of Zinfandel. The bouquet features just enough butteredtoast, hazelnut, nutmeg, and caramel to frame the luscious fruit. The flavors of this wine are loaded with ripesavory loganberry, olallieberry, and mulberry fruit. There is a creamy viscositycontributed by the time spent in oak barrels. The finish has a nice blend of mocha and fruit that is also smooth andfree of any drying or astringent tannins. I find lamb and Zinfandel to complement eachother perfectly. If you have an issuewith lamb Osso Bucco will also fit the bill as will grilled pork with a fruitsauce.

Esola Vineyard, Amador County

TASTING NOTES:

The 2024Esola Zinfandel has a dark ruby red color of significant depth with youthful hues. The aroma offers a stellar example ofZinfandel fruit, ripe black raspberry, blackberry and boysenberry. Along with the fruit there is a briary scentreminiscent of a dusty Amador back-road lined with wild blackberry bushes withfruit starting to dry in the hot afternoon sun. The bouquet frames the fruit withnotes of sweet caramel oak, buttered toast and a suggestion of milk chocolate.The flavors are soft and luscious with plenty of succulent blackberry andmarionberry fruit. There are some toastyoak flavors to go along with substantial mature tannins. It’s rare that a Zinfandel doesn’t concede asignificant portion of the finish to earthen tannins. The 2024 Esola Zinfandel is the exceptiondelivering Zinfandel fruit from beginning to end with bright savory fruit that stealsthe last curtain call.

2024 Charbono
Buy Now: $30.00

Sierra Foothills

TASTING NOTES:

The 2024 Charbono has a deep ruby purple color with brightyouthful hues. Black fruits; loganberry,boysenberry, cassis, and blackberry preserves dominate this wine’s aroma. There is also a floral perfume that hints oflavender and violet. Seventeen months of aging in small barrels provides a bouquetthat features deeply toasted almost roasted oak. Flavors of briary blackberriesand savory oak precede those of creamy mocha and dark chocolate. This wine has significant structure and extract,and while the tannins are mature and far from aggressive, this vintage maybenefit from a year or two in the cellar. The bright succulent fruit carries deepinto the finish where it finally yields to a mild chalky minerality. This is a wine with a texture suitable forsubstantial Mediterranean cuisine; braised lamb shanks, game, and Oso Buccocome to mind.
