Winemaker’s Tasting Notes

This dessert wine (made in a ruby port style), is named after Bob Panella Sr’s iconic 1951 Ford Anglia drag racing car.
For those that don’t know, Il Padrone means ‘the boss’ in Italian. The car was a dominating force in it’s division in the late 60’s and early 70’s.

The grapes that went into this wine came from the Vista Cecila vineyard in Amador County and were farmed by Josh Lyman.
The vines are head trained and the soil is ‘Sierra loam’. Elevation is approximately 1,430 ft.
Soil is red, clay, loamy and slightly rocky. Warm days and cool nights are typical of this region during the growing season.

This fortified dessert Zinfandel is a powerful wine, with notes of toasted bread and graham crackers.
There are notes of mixed berries intertwined with chocolate, caramel and honey aromas.
It’s a full body wine, sweet and bold, that ends with a long and persistent finish.

FiniVin’s bemærkninger

Vinverden er fuld af lovregler for at ”beskytte” de enkelte områders særkende, men det betyder jo ikke, at vi ikke har en klar forventning omkring hvordan f.eks. en Chablis, Champagne, Cognac, Sherry eller – som her – Portvin smager, uanset hvorfra i verden vinen kommer!!!

Der er mange stilarter af portvine: Ruby, Tawny, Vintage, LBV, White, Rosé og Colheita.
Denne vin er, hvad vi kalder ”Ruby Port Style”, lavet på 100 % Zinfandel.

Sødmefuld, krydret, kompleks og fyldig med mange smagsoplevelser: Solbær, kirsebær og hindbær, kanel, karamel og chokolade – og med flot fedme.
God balance mellem frugt og alkohol.
Lang fløjlsblød finish.
