Zucca 2010 Sangiovese Rosato Rosé (Amador County)

Online Exclusive

Price $18

Zucca has made a fragrant and floral Sangiovese Rosato here, dry like cherry jam on toast and a nutty finish. Pair it with tropically seasoned seafood. — V.B. (3/1/2012)

Zucca 2009 Zinfandel (Amador County)

Price $24

A very small production Amador Zinfandel that starts off stewy and muted, reminiscent of Dr. Pepper, but smoothes itself out into a balanced, jammy and satisfactory wine. — V.B. (9/1/2011)

Zucca 2006 Soprendere Red (Calaveras County)

Online Exclusive

Price $26

Heavy and soft, lacking the structure a red wine wants. But there’s no problem with the flavors, which are fine. They’re rich in black and red cherries, licorice, anise and black pepper, and the finish is thoroughly dry. — S.H. (8/1/2010)

Zucca 2006 Barbera

Online Exclusive

Price $28

Sharp in acids, with a knife-like cutting quality that slices right through and across the wine’s natural cherry flavors. The tannins are bigtime, too. Doesn’t seem at all likely to improve in the bottle. — S.H. (8/1/2010)
