Tasting Notes

Allen was drawn to Amador County because of its high quality fruit. Amador County grapes have a distinctive and intense flavor, and produce exceptional wines. Known for big, tannic Zinfandel, and increasingly for Barbera, the area enjoys a world class reputation in the wine business, and is increasingly popular among consumers.

2008 Amador CountySauvignon Blanc Medal Winner! F irst off the vine, first in the bottle! This 2008 vintage has a crisp, bright fruity nose with grassy hints and no oak. The clean flavors of pear and apricots fill your mouth at first taste and ends with a long citrus finish. Try it with lemon chicken or crab cakes.

Deedee Bubblegum, a California Pink Wine A little bit sweet, lots of fruit and lots of fun. Tastes NOTHING like Bubble Gum - it was simply names after one of the beloved four dogs here at Drytown! Perfect for poolside or picnic.

$10.00

2006 Sierra Foothills Syrah Medal Winner! This vintage, from Corrine Moore’s Drytown vineyard, is a big syrah, tannic and chalky. Rich and fruity, with notes of raspberry. Pair with a rare grilled steak with gorgonzola sauce.

$18.00

2007 Shenandoah ValleyBarbera Medal Winner! With wines like this, it’s no wonder barbera from the Sierra Foothills is growing in popularity. Its black cherry nose and raspberry middle brightens the palate. The nutty long finish is complemented by barbera’s characteristic tartness. Try it with Portobello mushroom ravioli.

$18.00

2006 Amador County Sangiovese Medal Winner! One of Italy’s most widely planted varietal, our sangiovese is dark and plummy. Its floral nose belies the solid earthy and faintly blueberry flavors that follow. Enjoy with garlicky broccoli rabe with sausage and peppers.

$18.00

Red-on-Red , a California Red Table Wine Medal Winner! The real art is in the blending—this red table wine has a taste profile enhanced by the contributions of each varietal which is 50 % Zinfandel, 38% Cabernet Franc and 12 % Syrah. Very special.

$10.00

2008 Shenandoah ValleyZinfandel As for the past vintages, our best zin is from the Noyes vineyard! This is so characteristic of Amador zin—a broad mouthful of zinney pepper and zing. This will only improve in the bottle. Try with Lamb or rich roast beef.

$17.00

2007 Amador CountyPrimitivo Medal Winner! Like Amador zinfandels, this primitivo is a rich mouthful. Luscious fruit, with hints of chocolate and smoke. Enjoy with rich foods.

$18.00

2008 Amador CountyCabernet Franc We didn’t want to hide this wine’s delicious varietal characteristics by blending, so here it is in all its splendor: smooth chalky and cherry flavors, with a hint of chocolate and a dash of spice and enough acid to stand up to braised meat or game.

$18.00

2006 Sierra FoothillsCabernet Sauvignon Medal Winner! A classic cabernet sauvignon with firm structure and tannins, earthy on the nose and palate. Drinkable now but can be cellared for several years! Flavors of blackberry introduce this easy-to-drink cab, with notes of smoke, olive, black currant and cedar.

$20.00
