A good, rugged Zinfandel, tannic and spicy, with a rustic mouthfeel framing wild berry, currant, licorice, beef jerky and spice flavors. Drink now with spicy pork, beef and chicken dishes.

Val Haraszthy, the great-great-grandson of California viticultural pioneer Agoston Haraszthy, has made California Zins his focus, with offerings from Sonoma, Howell Mountain and here, Amador County. The result here is a tad rough, an unbelievably big (15.6% alcohol) wine that doesn’t deliver much yet in terms of aroma or taste. Maybe in time?

Rich and forward in jammy black cherry, raspberry and spice flavors, this Zinfandel drinks well now. It’s a tannic wine, as you’d expect off Howell Mountain, but those tannins are refined and sweet. Drink now with a nice steak.
