About Andis Wines
Andis Wines is named for the Swedish concept of andi — spirit, the vital energy or animating force that gives character to a person or a place. Scott and Pamela Keine's Amador County estate declares this spirit as its founding energy: wine made with the vitality and enthusiasm of people who love what they're doing.
The Shenandoah Road estate in Amador County's Shenandoah Valley produces Zinfandel, Barbera, Grenache, and Tempranillo from the Sierra Foothills' distinctive clay-rich, decomposed granite soils at 1,200 to 2,000 feet elevation. The Shenandoah Valley's combination of warm days, cool mountain nights, and older vine age (many Sierra Foothills vineyards date to the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries) produces wines of unusual concentration and complexity.
Wine Spectator has scored Andis's Shenandoah Valley Zinfandel and Barbera at 89–92 points.
