Best Buy + Silver Medal, Beverage Testing Institute-2004 Clockspring Zinfandel
December 1, 2007


Amador, California - Our 2004 Clockspring Zinfandel has received a Best Buy and Silver Medal designation from the famous Beverage Testing Institute in Chicago. "Bright cinnamon, roasted nut, and berry pastry aromas. A soft entry leads to a dry-yet-fruity medium body of cinnamon, graphite, grilled pepper and cranberry flavors. Finishes with a tart, mild tannin fade. A fun, fruity and very spicy zin to pair with spicy Middle Eastern lamb dishes."
