Renwood Winery, Amador County (California) Zinfandel “Premier” Old Vine 2010

($20): Once again, location matters.  Amador County has a great reputation for Zinfandel and it shows in the character of this wine.   Fresh bright fruit flavors, dried fruit notes, and spice all come together in this bold, yet not massive, Zinfandel.  It carries its stated 15.5% alcohol effortlessly.  This is a warming winter wine.
