DEAVER Old Vines Circa 1860s Amador County 2017 In-the-know devotees of Amador Zinfandels expect them to be big, ripe and gutsy, and this one most certainly fills the bill, but it stands out from the crowd by dint of its striking depth as well as the surprisingly graceful way it carries its 15.9% alcohol. Keen and very emphatic fruit is in complete control every step of the way, and, while the wine lacks for nothing in the way of extract and substance, it never once inclines to tannic toughness. It is terrifically sustained at the finish with the structure to grow for years yet to come and is, all in all, a classic example of top-tier Sierra Foothills Zin.
