Winemaker Notes
The color is dark purple, with complex aromas of cedar, tobacco and Asian spice box. The fruit us blackberry/cassis with a pleasant St.Julien like texture, mineral-infused flavors, and sappiness. The wine has good balance, intensity, a plush texture and length. It is a youngster now and slow to open, which bodes well for ageability.
Alcohol: 13.9% by volume
Bill Easton is one of the pioneers of Amador's modern winemaking era, founding his winery in 1984, and his wines still lead the pack in terms of quality. Easton's high elevation sites reach up to 3,200 feet and contribute to the complexity of the wines.
Easton puts his name on his non-Rhône varietals wines, those that have traditionally worked the best in Amador County and the Sierra Foothills: ancient and old-vine Zinfandel, Barbera, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Sauvignon Blanc. Under the Easton label he also bottles small selections of varietals new to the Sierra Foothills: Grenache Blanc, Pinot Noir, and Cabernet Franc.
Easton makes wines that are unique and site-specific with a sense of place all of their own. He farms and runs his winery sustainably, even relying entirely on solar power for his tasting room and winemaking facilities.
