More stittleferq from TheBloodyPulpit:
1. Another great OV Zin from Bedrock and a real value. Should benefit from a few yrs in the btl. This is always one of the best Zin values out there. Ann Kraemer is a very highly regarded viticulturist in the NapaVlly. Some 10-12 yrs ago, she decided to plant a vnyd up in Amador Cnty. It is located at a much higher elevation to the SE of the ShenandoahVlly. She has a variety of varieties planted including Greco di Tufo and sells to a number of different winemakers. The Barbera from her vnyd is always one of my favorite Calif Barberas.
