I agree with the note from Nater. Not bad but something is just missing here.

An excellent example of a Zinfandel made with some restraint. This is not the massive Petite Syrah imposter. Yes, it is fruit forward, but there is more than just fruit. Some spice. Some tobacco. But mostly blue and black berries. Not the best choice for the delicate veal we ate with it. We have drunk several Burgundies during the past month, and I just wanted some variety.

Complex fruity nose stright out of the bottle, which mellows with a little sitting. A little acidic, but nice tannins, complex fruity notes with a hint of tobacco, black currant, and vanilla. Very smooth and luscious. Would be great with a barbecued steak, a premium burger, or Italian and Greek foods with a bold flavor profile of their own.

Fruity with blackberry, plum, cherry, vanilla and oak on the nose and palate. Bold with medium acidity and tannin. High alcohol, which is evident on the palate. Long blackberry finish.

This took a while to open up. Initially a bit astringent and closed. Once it opened up, however, it's more what I expected from prior vintages of this wine. Good stuff.

For a light style zin this continues to impress at this age. Focused red berry fruits. Delicious.

It is in its prime. Blackberry and a hint of dried fruit it seems it will lean into with any more age. I can't imagine it will get better so I am glad I opened it now.
The wine looks inky colored. It smells like prune and blackberry. It tastes like blackberry. The body is medium/full. The wine has silky texture. The wine finishes medium. The wine has medium acidity.

Ripe fruit and brambles on the nose. Vibrant on the palate, with fruit and acidity, a little tannin, and a faint hint of sweetness. Better after having time to breathe; on opening the acidity was more pronounced. Despite the claim on the label that it is ready to drink now, I suspect it will improve with a few more years in the bottle.

Good depth of flavor and aromatics. Typical zin fruit, with some underlying herbaceousness. Nicely balanced.

This was excellent, but be aware it drinks like an amarone. I don't know if they dry their grapes or if it was just really ripe, but the wine has a delicious raisin aspect to it.

Lively acidity has helped this wine survive a dozen years. Needs food !!
The cork was near perfect after over a decade in the bottle, easily removed. Consumed this delicious Barbera with friends at dinnery. Dark burgundy color with medium clarity. Aromas of red cherry and dried strawberries. Flavors of black cherry, plum, and blackberry with a medium finish. Great aging potential, I still have one bottle of this vintage year remaining in my cellar. Great winemaking by Bill Easton.

Absolutely divine. Opens with cherry and berry on the nose, complex fruit and vanilla on the palate, with a long finish ending with fresh peach. Was thrilled to find (a) that I have one more bttle in the cellar, and (b) that it's still available. Just ordered two more bottles directly from the vineyard - where we're wine club members because of our love of their wines. Something that would go well with a great steak or classic Italian or Greek foods, when the meal is to be savored and enjoyed, not gulped down.

Spot on Amador County Zin. Nose of sweet bramble, strawberries, tobacco leaf, and spices. Heavy bodied, tons of primary fruit depth, and moderate on the acidity. Palate follows the nose. Chewy tannins. Long spicy finish.

If I had to put this Easton bottling on a scale, it is proportional in price to the Bedrock OVZ bottles. These are a great bottle to pop open in a mixed crowd or when you are looking for a spot on zin.

Beautiful aromatic integration, complexity, and character. Wine needed a healthy decent before the mouthfeel matched the aroma. Paired perfectly with Chiapeaneco mole enchiladas and a Davidoff cigar

Affordable, fun yet has elegance and sophistication. Fine red fruits with a hint of spice. Went great with sautéed mushrooms. Designed to be on the light side. Glad I could try this version with a bit of age. Drinking great.

This has improved since last night when I first opened it. Not the jammy overripe Zins of my youth. This has nice tobacco and is smooth and rich. One of the better Zins I’ve had in sometime. Really drinking nicely for a 7-year-old Amador Zin. 4-12-15-8: 89/100.

This started off like my last bottle. Initially kinda spritzy like I had pop rocks in my mouth. This dissipates quick where is shows some bramblie-like fruit. Day 2 I’d say deep cherry and tobacco. More like a claret instead of a zin. Maybe Bill Easton knows what he’s doing by aging these a few years before release. Not sure I like this too much at this point.

Day 1; slow ox for several hours, beautiful zin fruit on the nose. Shines immediately after opening. Textbook. Blue fruits and proper jam. Palate a bit muted as the fruit was trying to emerge.

Day 2(early); role reversal. Aromatics faded and fruits shined over my tongue.

Day 2(later on); less friendly. Brash and more complicated. Not sure where it’s going. Enjoyable but less joyous.

Addendum: this showed tobacco and cigar box day2((later on). The words alluded me but came to me overnight.

Dark, ripe fruit and lots of barrel influence. But it works well, likely due to the high acidity. Medium body.
