Grandmère

2007 Amador County Zinfandel

The Kirkland Signature Grandmère is a delightful Zinfandel hailing from the renowned Amador County region, celebrated for its rich soils and warm climate that are ideal for grape growing. This full-bodied red wine captures the essence of the variety with its vibrant and enchanting ruby color. It displays a pronounced fruit intensity, showcasing lovely notes of ripe blackberry, cherry, and subtle hints of spice that dance on the palate. The acidity is high, providing a bright and lively character that elevates the wine's flavor profile, while the tannins are notable and structured, lending a robust backbone to the overall experience. As a dry offering, the Grandmère is well-balanced, making it an excellent companion for hearty dishes or fine cheeses, inviting you to indulge in its delicious complexity.

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.
