Portalupi 2015 Shake Ridge Ranch Zinfandel (Amador County)
This is a standout wine that tastes ripe and full, but also has good balance, a polished texture and a wonderful sense of layering and finesse. Blueberry, blackberry and dark chocolate waft from the glass and equally generous flavors coat the palate, propelled by a velvety layer of fine-grained tannins and full body. Jim Gordon
