Dillian Ranch

2008 Amador County Zinfandel

The Joel Gott Dillian Ranch Zinfandel from the 2008 vintage hails from the picturesque Amador County, a region celebrated for its vibrant red wines. This red wine showcases a medium-bodied profile, offering a delightful experience on the palate. Its acidity is well-balanced, contributing to a juicy and mouthwatering finish that makes it incredibly food-friendly. The fruit intensity is prominent, revealing layers of ripe blackberries and cherries, accompanied by enticing hints of spice and earthiness that enhance its complexity. The tannins are notable yet smooth, providing structure without overpowering the wine's charming fruit characteristics. This Zinfandel is a dry wine, perfect for pairing with rich dishes or enjoyed on its own for a cozy evening.

California is one of the most diverse winegrowing regions in the world. Spanning 850 miles along North America's west coast—and inland across mountains and valleys—California's American Viticultural Areas (AVAs) cover a dizzying array of terroir. The cold, deep waters of the Pacific Ocean play a major role in cooling California's vineyards, sending fog and chilly air up to 100 miles inland. This tempers the daytime heat and allows grapes to ripen slowly but fully. Cooler-climate grape varieties thrive closest to the sea, while further inland, bigger, bolder wines prevail.
