More red fruit on the nose. Similar notes as the 14 & 15 I posted.

Acidity duller. Fantastic florals. The finish not as long but, polished, ripe, lush, rich & balanced. Similar issues with being open too long...a little watery & flabby.

Photos of, their Zinfandel vineyard as viewed from the deck of their tasting room, a rooster the previous owners bought at an auction...little did they know, it would end up being more valuable then they paid, their wine making building and their sloping hillside vines towards the backend of their property.

Drank along side the 15, you are splitting hairs in determine which is better. I’m not a big Zin drinker however, this is another level of Zin!
