Amador Foothill does a nice job with Esola’s 67-year-old, dry-farmed Zin, making a wine that has dusty strawberry and cherry goodness interwoven around a toasty, oaky base. — (9/1/2012) —87

A very nicely priced Zin from 66-year-old, dry-farmed Sierra Foothills vines that has an intense spiciness right from the get-go and is appropriately tannic and meaty, big and classic for its historical roots. Plum, blackberry and tobacco predominate and already with four years of age, this one could age more. ——V.B.(11/1/2011)—— 88

It’s bit harsh in texture and is minty, with wintergreen and pepper flavors that nudge into cherries and mocha. Good for barbecue and cheese plates.——S.H.(12/31/2008)—— 84

I’ve been a critic of overripeness in red wines, but here, the raisiny flavors complement rather than hinder the fresh wild berries, lending a black currant complexity. It’s high in alcohol, but totally dry, and besides, what else would you expect from a high-country Zin? ——S.H.(8/1/2005)—— 88

One of the strongest efforts I have tasted from this winery, this deep ruby-colored Zinfandel exhibits copious quantities of cranberries, cherries, and other red fruits along with spicy oak and earth notes. Medium-bodied and tangy, it should be consumed over the next 1-2 years.Tel. (209) 245-6307
