Zinfandel
Here’s an opportunity to indulge in the rich, “old vine” flavors of a classic wine by a truly top-notch winemaker – at a surprisingly affordable price.
California Zinfandel dates to the 1850’s when European immigrants brought their heritage of grape growing and winemaking to America. Canwood Zinfandel, from an Amador County winery known for handcrafted award-winning wines, is produced from 40-year-old, head-pruned vines growing in one of the original Gold Rush era vineyards.
Bold, ripe, concentrated aromas of sweet berry jam are echoed in the distinctive, old vine Zinfandel flavors of blackberry, raspberry, sweet spice and cedar. Aging in American oak adds a note of vanilla and an overall flavor that perfectly suits grilled beef, pork or chicken, spicy Mexican dishes, aged cheeses or hearty pastas. (Read our panel’s notes)

A bold, powerful, juicy and intensely flavorful Zinfandel. Full of blackberry, cassis, cherry and spice with smoky oak and black pepper accents. A ripe, supple texture carries berry fruit flavors through a long, full finish – you can’t do better than this!

After two solid days tasting Zinfandels at the annual ZAP festival in San Francisco (the largest gathering of Zinfandel winemakers and enthusiasts in the world), this wine captured our attention immediately – unpretentious, understated and easy drinking.
