If you're a fan of old vine wines, you're about to find a wine (and a region) that's worth knowing about for great quality and value. Let’s blind an American wine region and one of its most nostalgic grapes.

What are we tasting?
This is the 2016 EASTON Amador County Zinfandel

Amador County is in the Sierra Foothills which is East of Napa and Sonoma. It's a region that has a long history in California wine, starting just after the close of the gold rush in the late 1800s.

The grape is Zinfandel, it's one of America's favorite grapes before Prohibition. Amador County is actually home to many old vineyards planted with Italianinspired grapes (actually, Zin is technically Croatian... but that's another story for another time) like Barbera (a juicy red) and Vermentino (a green herbal white).
