2006 Yorba Zinfandel, Shake Ridge Vineyards, Amador County, CA $28 (S) – Rating 90

Like a shy girl, Yorba Zinfandel is a bit tight at first pour but opens into a beautifully structured and slightly complex wine. Dark rich flavors blackberry, raspberry, dark cherry, bramble and spice are complimented by supple tannins.
