Save over $12 a bottle on this 93-94 point, perfect 10 Zinfandel from Amador County. Welcome to the new vintage of one our most popular deals ever, the Bulk Buy rated Scott Harvey Mountain Selection Zinfandel.
AUTOBUY. We don't use that term lightly but when a producer has repeatedly and continuously blown us (and all of you) away with their wines, it becomes warranted. And that is just the case with Scott Harvey.
After the smashing success of multiple offerings in the past, Scott Harvey is back with another Perfect 10 Taste Rating. Today we turn to a 93-point (Wine Enthusiast)/94+ point (us) Zinfandel from Scott's sweet spot, Amador County.
And believe me, I am always happy to take advantage of Scott's 45+ years of experience making excellent wine in this area especially when we get to do it for well under $20.
Amador County in the Sierra Foothills is special spot, especially for Italian varietals like Zinfandel. With nearly 600 acres of vines 65+ years old, winemaking here goes back to the Gold Rush of 1849. In fact, there are still several vineyards (of the 40 or so total) which had their start in the 19th century.
Today's Zinfandel comes primarily from vineyards in the higher elevations of Shenandoah Valley. Specifically, that breaks down to 52% Bowman Vineyard, 40% Spinetta Vineyard, 4% Rohan Vineyard and 4% York Vineyard in Fiddletown.
This wine normally retails for $30, which is no surprise given the quality and the careful winemaking including 22 months in French oak. For the next couple days; however, we're slashing over $12 a bottle off that price.

The 2019 Scott Harvey Mountain Selection Zinfandel is 96% Zinfandel and 4% Syrah. It is aged 22 months in French oak and has just 2 g/L of residual sugar.
From the winery:
Tasting Notes: Fruit forward, rich full flavors expressing both the varietal and the Amador Terroir. This complex wine has notes of bright raspberry, earthy tones, briary Zinfandel character with a fresh finish.
Vineyard Notes: Amador County is extremely well suited to Zinfandel. Zinfandel has been grown in the Amador County Gold Rush area for over 150 years. These old head pruned dryland farmed vineyards produce low yields of extractive flavorful Zinfandel.
Winemaker Notes: Grown on steep mountainous terrain in the higher elevations of the Shenandoah Valley of Amador County, California. 2019 Spring during flowering was cold a dreary which caused a 50% decline in crop yields at harvest. Because of low yields the long and drawn-out harvest produced exceptional flavor and extractive wines.

The 2019 Scott Harvey Mountain Selection Zinfandel begins with a wonderful, big, very spicy aroma of cherry, raspberry, vanilla, tons of licorice and more. It's quite inviting, and it gains even more complexity as it has time in the glass.
Tasting reveals plenty of spicy fruit and licorice to go along with candied cherry flavors in this balanced and delicious wine. I almost want to describe it as liquid candy but that doesn't really fit since this is a very dry wine with less than 2 grams per liter of residual sugar. It is; however, extremely flavorful.
And while previous iterations of this wine needed some time to breathe, this vintage is very balanced and harmonious right from get-go. In fact, this might be the tastiest iteration of this wine yet and that's really saying something!
It ends dry and slightly grippy with tons of lasting fruit, licorice and spice and even a bit of lingering earthiness. It's fantastic and it was just as good on day 2.

"You are a man after my own heart. I have always looked for the best and least expensive wine and you just made it easier. Cheers!"
"Hi Jon, well, I did something people have warned about - bought 6 bottles and should have bought 12!"
"Have had nothing but great bottles since I started ordering your recommendations. Thanks so much! "
"We've gotten in on three of the deals and have been VERY happy with the value. I originally was going to do a wine club thing but the insider deal appeals to me much more."

"Just got my 6 bottles and having my first glass. WHY, WHY didn't I buy a case??!!"
