Winemaker Tasting Notes:	2006 EASTON Zinfandel “Late Harvest” Fiddletown - Rinaldi Vineyard We are excited about is our 2006 EASTON Late Harvest Zinfandel from the Rinaldi Vineyard in the Fiddletown appellation of Amador County. This is a historic site that dates to at least 1865 when it was called the Cox Vineyard. A portion of the harvest lent itself to making a Late Harvest wine in the 2006 vintage. We left one block of the vineyard to hang until the sugar reached 30˚ plus brix, but the wine still retains a sense of style and balance without overt dehydrated Zinfandel flavors. Rich, blackberry and dark chocolate flavors with an attractive white pepper spiciness that I like to get in most of my Zinfandels. We bottled it in 500 ml bottles which seemed appropriate for a wine with 16% natural alcohol and about 5% residual sugar. This is a great introduction to our EASTON line of five distinctly different Zinfandels: EASTON Zinfandel “Amador County” EASTON Zinfandel “Shenandoah Valley” EASTON Zinfandel “Fiddletown” EASTON Zinfandel “Shenandoah Valley” “Estate -Bottled” EASTON Zinfandel “Late Harvest” This new 500 ml bottling is in a handsome tall, elegant glass bottle with the label sized to enhance the elegance of the overall package. 16.0 % alc. by volume; 3.65pH; 6.8 grams per liter total acidity Suggested Retail: $20 for the 500 ml
