Karly Winery, “Buck’s Ten Point”, Zinfandel 1999

Karly Winery, “Buck’s Ten Point”, Zinfandel, Amador County 1999 ($18/now sold out) – From the personal stock of listener Darrel. Made by an artisan producer in one of my favorite parts of my native state, the Amador County. Medium ruby in color with raspberry and strawberry aromas; jammy boysenberry fruit and soft tannins make for some easy drinking Zin. A wine with plenty of fruit left now, but makes me want to try the 2003 vintage for comparison. Finished with a plastic cork that has protected this wine well. Score: 8/10

Thanks for sharing, Darrel!
