Scott Harvey Wines, Amador County (California) Zinfandel 2011

Jan 1, 2014

By Rich Cook

Scott Harvey produces Zinfandel that is meant for the table, with solid acidity and virtually no residual sugar, but vibrant fruit and varietal herb and spice notes that make your meal more enjoyable.  This bottling shows cherry, plum, vanilla and light menthol aromatics and a palate of dry tart berries with pepper and allspice.  It finishes long with balanced interplay of fruit and pepper.  Use it to compliment a steak with a peppercorn sauce, or contrast it with turkey.
