Bedrock Wine Co. Description
Esola Vineyard (formally know as Sherman's Gold) is located in Amador County and was the source for Ridge's Shenendoah Zinfandel in the 70's and 80's.
Our only Zinfandel offering from Amador County, Esola Zinfandel comes from vines in the center of the famous Shenandoah Valley. Owner Denise Esola farms these 1968-planted vines and the granitic soils they grow in with enormous TLC, and every year the wine is one of the most agile and graceful renditions of the variety we produce. The 2019 is no exception, possessing the explosive aromatics that make the site so singular (every year this smells like tarragon and grapefruit out of tank) along with red fruits and the edge of structure brought by the granitic subsoils. The 2019 is a bit looser knit than previous renditions and will reward earlier drinking than some examples of this bottling. It’s a piquant delight!
Vinous Media: 94 Points
The 2019 Zinfandel Esola is all perfumed red berry fruit. Gracious and translucent in feel, the 2019 is a sensual, open-knit wine that will drink well right out of the gate. The 2019 is deceptive in its light-weight feel, but it has terrific brightness and more than enough pedigree to age nicely for a number of years. Exotic spice and floral notes recall young Nebbiolo.-- Antonio Galloni
