Recently, the gift of wine was bestowed upon us by an
individual, who knowing of our interest in wine wanted to share one of his favorites
from his home town area in Amador County. The bottle of his choosing was a
lovely Estate bottled 2008 Zinfandel from Convergence Vineyards. This 2008 Estate Zinfandel from Convergence was voted
‘Best Zinfandel’ in The Sierra Foothills and received 2 Gold Medals at the
Calaveras Wine Competition. Not bad, and as it was enjoyed with dinner it
reminded us of just how enjoyable a good Zinfandel can be.
To quote their
description: Brambly blackberry fruit mixes with smoky spice for a classically
styled Zinfandel. A big rich mouth feel and bracing acidity assures years of
age-ability. “Life would be hell without Zinfandel”.
With our rating of a 7 and a price point that has it only $1 off being a **** wine this is a
great WW drinker. We will definitely be looking to this area for some more nice
surprises and in particular from Convergence Vineyards.
Happy
Tasting Adventures,
Cheers,
