The Shenandoah Valley in California’s Sierra Foothills is definitely showing its propensity for Sangiovese here with longtime producer Amador Foothill Winery doing a nice job on this 2007, a wine with lots of dry, dusty tannins and mountain-grown structure that’s still got spice and will pair with Italian-inspired dishes with ease. ——V.B.(11/1/2011)—— 88

Dry, tart in acidity and a little one-dimensional, with cherry, tobacco and spice flavors. A nice, silky wine to drink with Italian-inspired fare. ——S.H.(12/1/2009)—— 86

At a time when many others have dropped Sangiovese from their portfolios, Amador Foothill remains committed to the great grape of Tuscany. The wine is medium-bodied and soft, somewhat like a warm-climate Merlot, with a pepper edge to the cherry and red currant flavors. It finishes dry and elegant.——S.H.(6/1/2008)—— 87

Tough going with this wine. It’s very dry, and shows the high acidity of the variety, and even some rasping tannins. Unfortunately, the fruit isn’t there, despite a modest attempt by the cherry squad to come to the rescue.——S.H.(9/1/2007)—— 83

Dry, soft and thickly textured, with slightly sweet LifeSaver cherry flavors and robust tannins, this rustic wine calls for rich cheeses and meats. ——S.H.(6/1/2006)—— 83
