Amador Cellars 2009 Bunkhouse Red (Amador County)

Country: US / Bunkhouse
Variety: Red Blend California
Winery: Amador Cellars / Amador County

They grow powerful grapes in parts of Amador County and this one stands out for its elevated alcohol. The mix of 70% Zinfandel and smaller helpings of Mourvèdre, Barbera, Syrah and Touriga combine for a spicy cola taste. Leathery notes and big tannins linger long on the finish.
