2022 Scott Harvey Mountain Selection Barbera, Amador County
Tasting Notes
Wine has bright red fruit, ripe cherry, roses, cherry tobacco, spicy with white pepper, sage, and cloves, showing a bright center palate with a balanced, full, and long lingering finish.
Vineyard/Vintage Notes
Grown on steep mountainous terrain in the higher elevations of the Shenandoah Valley of Amador County, California. The growing season started off with a hard spring frost on April 12, killing 80% of the new shoot growth. This produced a small crop. We had a dry summer with a mid-harvest rain. The best wines in Amador are always made after the first fall rain. What was left after the frost ripened nicely to produce excellent extractive fruit.
Winemaker’s Notes
Produced in the Italian old world, food-friendly style.

2022 Scott Harvey Mountain Selection Zinfandel, Amador County
Tasting Notes
Dark briary fruit of white pepper, cedar, currents, grilled steak, spicy, raspberry, sage, and plum lead to an extractive, fleshy structure with firm tannin and a balanced, long, lingering finish.
Vineyard/Vintage Notes
Amador County is extremely well-suited to Zinfandel. Zinfandel has been grown in the Amador County Gold Rush area for over 150 years. These old head pruned dryland farmed vineyards produce low yields of extractive, flavorful Zinfandel

After decades of creating and crafting premium wines for wineries like Santino and Folie a Deux – and putting Amador County on the map as a world-class appellation – Scott Harvey launched his own winery in 2004. With decades of winemaking experience on two continents, it’s no wonder his wines have become an immediate sensation. It’s an overnight success 35 years in the making. (Oh, and Scott’s not too shabby with a pen, either.)

So I received the email from Terry at Wine Country just yesterday. What happened to Alice? Anyways, hello from a long time casemates customer and occasional labrat. I will be honest with you, the last two labrats test bottles I received, I was slow to review because they were not good. I actually surprised I got another shot….
Onto the Scott Harvey 2022 Zinfandel. We like Scott Harvey wines so slightly biased. The wife and I received the wine about 4pm today. Unfortunately had another engagement for the evening and got home at 10pm for a nightcap and popped open the bottle. Not much nose but does smell like a zin. Nice dark ruby red color with some legs. Mostly agree with the notes of dark briary fruit of white pepper, cedar, currents, (not sure about grilled steak), spicy, raspberry, sage, and plum with firm tannin and a balanced, long, lingering finish. Very good drinkable wine and I am in for a case!
How much more are you saving by buying a full case?

hopefully more notes to follow
The Scott Harvey 2021 Barbera and Zin were my introduction to “good” wine and this is what I was saving my $50 coupon for. In for a case.
@user33071884 what did you receive a $50 coupon for?
The ‘22 Barbera offered here was paired with ‘21 Mountain Selection zin July ‘25… case price was substantially lower, $169.
