"Terra d'Oro Zinfandel exhibits the classic Sierra Foothills Zinfandel characteristics that are unique to this region. This savory zinfandel displays vibrant aromas of spicy clove, allspice, mocha, dark cherry and hints of vanilla. Flavors of juicy blackberries and plums, white pepper and cinnamon excite the sense with a round mouthfeel of round of well integrated tannins on the finish. This wine is rich and powerful, but incredibly well-balanced and pairs well with a multitude of dishes."

"Montevina Zinfandel delivers all the zest of Amador County in an accessible package that is perfect for everyday enjoyment. The Zinfandel bursts with aromas of juicy red raspberries, strawberry and just a hint of clove and cinnamon. The mouthfeel is soft and elegant and ends with a juicy finish. The Montevina Zinfandel is perfect for toasting the simple pleasures of life and pairs well with spare ribs, spicy BBQ, or a beautifully grilled hamburger."

"Terra d'Oro Barbera showcases the refreshing acidity of the grape with inviting aromas of sweet red fruit and fresh toasted bread. Enticing flavors of cherry cola and blueberries coat the palate, and polished tannins boast an elegant, round finish. A perfect compliment to savory dishes, Terra d'Oro Barbera pairs particularly well with pork roast or orecciette bolognese."

Montevina Barbera "displays a sultry, rich, dark red hue and bright aromas of cherry and Amador spice. Flavors of dark cherry with toasty oak characteristics lead to sweet, soft tannins that melt away in juicy joy. The Montevina Barbera pairs beautifully with a multitude of cuisines. Try matching it with a Manchego and fig cheese plate, or an artisan pizza with prosciutto and vodka sauce, topped with fresh basil."

"Terra d'Oro Zinfandel Port's amazing aromas evoke raisined berry fruit, candied dates, caramel, dark chocolate and orange peel. Rich flavors of cocoa, toffee, raisin and coffee follow through to a full-bodied, medium sweet palate with a long finish. Terra d'Oro Zinfandel port is the perfect wine to enjoy on its own and pairs well with dark chocolate and decadent Ganache. For a savory combination, try it with Stilton cheese and toasted walnuts."
