ANDIS WINES, Painted Fields Old Vine Zinfandel 2021 (Amador County, CA)

Producer Notes: Our Old Vine Zinfandel is sourced from different vineyards throughout the Sierra Foothills AVA region to compose a beautiful, elegant red wine similar to what was likely produced here in the early days before Zinfandel wine became a jammy fruit bomb.
Our 2021 vintage is a well-balanced, layered, and seamless wine offering tons of fresh blackberry and raspberry flavors wrapped in a bracing texture of fine-grained tannins and bright acidity.

Wine Enthusiast, 90 Points: This big, full-bodied Zin offers a mouthful of chewy tannins that feel purposeful and balanced because of the excellent fruit concentration and well-integrated oak character. Its engaging aromas and flavors recall blackberry, black cherry, black plum, chocolate, star anise and tobacco. Pair this with a juicy burger. (Veggie and vegan burgs will work too!) —S.B.
