- Description
-
From the Bedrock Wine Co. website:
“Owned by the colorful Denise Esola, a woman who has lived enough for multiple lifetimes, this vineyard lies in the heart of Amador’s Shenandoah Valley. Her head-trained, dry-farmed Zinfandel vines are planted on granitic soils and have perhaps the smallest berries and clusters I have seen on the variety. The resulting wines are fragrant and structured expressions of the grape—among my favorite wines we make every year. The wines from the vineyard seem fitting for one run by a former dancer, they are showy, lithe, and fun!”
