  A muddy rose color. The nose was distinctly yeast and some of the Zinfandel berry. Taste surprisingly had no yeast and mostly was fruity berry flavors with a bit of spice. A good wine but I was certainly disapointed in lack of layering and solid finish after having several other wonderful Sobon Zins at only a few dollars more

  Blackberry jam, a nice "soda pop" flavor on the end, solid tannins, nice (although a bit light) bouquet. We liked this one.. Amador County Zins are proving to be our favorites..

  Overly jammy and sweet, though it mellowed out some with some exposure to air. Not as brambly or complex as better zins, but not bad for the price.

  Good fruit on the nose, with a peppery note. Spicy and raspberry in the mouth, with a nice, smooth finish.
  
  Drink through 2015.
