2006 Santino Eco Zinfandel, Sierra Foothills

2006 Santino Eco Zinfandel, Sierra FoothillsIn a setting amidst the pastoral beauty of California’s Shenandoah Valley, Santino Winery stands as a tribute to excellence in winemaking.  Since 1979, Santino has been producing wines from the soil of Amador County.

Winemaker’s Notes

The grapes are sourced from sustainably farmed vineyards in the Sierra Foothills. Most vineyards are less than 20 years old. We age 70% in older French and American oak barrels for eight months. We then blend the portions from the tanks and barrels prior to bottling. The wine has medium aromas and flavors with a pronounced spicy character. Enjoy this wine with savory foods, stews and game.

Vintage

The growing season of 2006 was about as average as a California year could possibly be.  Normal levels of rainfall, not too hot or too cold, the usual hot summer and blessedly no rain at harvest
