This is monster Zin with huge opulent fruit with awesome old vine concentration and intensity. Wine blew me away.

Tasting Notes: The 2006 Jack Rabbit Flat Zinfandel is dark garnet in color. It has aromas of raspberry, holiday spices, and vanilla that waft from the glass with each swirl. On the palate, flavors of berry pie, and white pepper, linger through the finish. The tannins are chalky and the wine should cellar well for 5-7 years. Our oldest vineyard, it still continues to produce alluring wines of outstanding character. -Winery Notes

The block called “Jack Rabbit Flat” Zinfandel comes from the Fox Creek Vineyard, which is one of the classic ancient vineyards of Amador County. It was planted over 80 years ago when Prohibition and the Volstead Act, gave opportunities to grape growers to ship grapes to home “juice” makers. Rancher Sue Fox manages to find time between her horses and Brangus cattle to tend to this national treasure we know as Jack Rabbit Flat. This immaculately maintained vineyard gives the head-trained vines the ability to ripen to maximum potential. The fruit is picked at the highest degree of ripeness, resulting in a wine of great richness and complexity.
