- Classic spice and succulence help this wine over deliver with extremely rich and balanced mouthfeel and well-integrated tannins.

- Good wines under $15 are a treasure for those of us who like to drink wine regularly without severely denting the checkbook. Burford and Brown’s 2005 Melanto Terrace Amador County Zinfandel is a great buy at $14. It is winemaker Peter Burford’s first release of an Amador appellation Zin. Burford sourced the fruit from ten-year-old vines, in the Wildwood Vineyard, located just outside of Fiddletown at an elevation of 4,000-feet. The wine exhibits the classic Amador County black peppery spice Zin characteristics, balanced by Burford with untoasted French oak chips that lend an attractive read more...sweetness. Burford says the wine gets a year in neutral wood, “to compliment the wine, yet not be in your face. And the chips elevate the aromatic profile of the wine.” Melanto Terrace Zin has a beautiful nose of blackberries and raspberries, dances lightly on the tongue and has a satisfying level of tannins and length of finish. A grilled rack of lamb or a cheddar burger would marry well with the lively black pepper spice notes in the wine. (hide)
