Michael and David Phillips Gluttony Old Vine Zinfandel Amador County 2017 750ML

TASTING NOTES:

This burly Zin is worth the indulgence. Deep purple in color, our 2017 Gluttony Zinfandel opens with tempting notes of pomegranate, ripe berry and hickory on the nose. Bold and booming flavors of plum, boysenberry and spice stand out while the extended barrel aging and mild tannins lend to a lush, lingering finish.

History:

This region produces some of California’s biggest and burliest Zinfandels that pull no punches, all too fitting characteristics for this wine. Yhe grapes for this wine come from a 5 acre, 90 year old dry farmed Zinfandel hilltop vineyard off Ridge Road in Amador County, near Sutter Creek. Farmer Jon Murrill oversees the vineyard and does much of the farming himself.
