As our Amador winery is located on Bell Road, we named this wine for the eponymous (and notorious) Judge Bell, who presided over the nearby town of Plymouth during its Gold Rush heyday. Harking from own-rooted vines planted in 1907, the wine shows quintessential Amador granitic tannins & briary fruits.

From a site planted in 1907 at 1,500 feet in elevation on volcanic, granite and quartz soils, the 2022 Zinfandel Judge Bell shows off a tensile, burly and tannic side of Zinfandel that is completely singular. Medium ruby in the glass, the nose leads with sultry bergamot and wild blackberry jam, further opening to dried strawberries, raspberry and cooling botanical complexity. The palate is dark-fruited and concentrated but immensely structured and tannic, with fantastic width, length and vibrancy to the finish. This is fantastically expressive even in this early stage and should perform admirably in the cellar for at least 15 years.
