Zinfandel from Amador County . . .
 

Our Amador Zinfandels are so-o-o-o representative of the Amador style: big, ripe, generous, playful, jammy, alcoholic, mouthfilling.

Currently available are the 2001 and 2002 vintages. Both are perfect for year-round consumption — with barbecued meats during the summer and body-warming stews or tomato-laden pasta dishes during the winter. (In spring and fall you're on your own!)

Rather than bore you with our polemics, we'll let the wines' fans speak for themselves....

2001 Tulocay Zinfandel Amador County
by David M. Bueker on Tue Nov 18, 2008 2:16 pm

Another item from the "Red Wines for Turkey" tasting at Table & Vine:

Tasted after two rather jammy zins, this is a wake up call, with ripe, round, balanced fruit, dusty herb nuances & fantastic balance. After finishing my taste the host announces that this has 15.7% alcohol! I never caught any sense of heat. The richness of the fruit just ate it all up. Hands down this is my favorite Amador zin of all time.

From Tastings.com:

2002 Tulocay Zinfandel Amador County

Ruby black color. Pistachio nougat, cherry compote, and beeswax aromas follow through on a round, supple entry to a dry-yet-fruity medium-to-full body with sundried tomato, raspberry sorbet, coco-mint and sweet spice accents. Finishes with a long, tangy refreshing fade. A big, yet remarkably balanced and food friendly zin. Pair with ostrich and stews.
