  January 30, 2015 - ZAP Flights! 2015 presented with support from The Historic Vineyard Society (Four Seasons Hotel, San Francisco): Poured at the Zap Flights presentation by the Historic Vineyard Society including discussion with winemaker Chris Leamy. From the Deaver Vineyard planted 1881.
  
  Medium ruby color might start sounding like a broken record, but really all wines in this flight except the Turley were indistinguishable by color. Nose of dark fruits, blackberry, plus a dusty component. Palate was black raspberry, black pepper, coarse tannic finish.
  
  This wine was quite nice, although I rate it #3/5 in the Amador flight, that speaks as much to the quality of this flight than it does to this wine. I was pleasantly surprised by this, since most of my previous experience with Terra d'Oro was not positive.
