Good balance and style. Brighter and fresher than most CA Zin. Nice wine.

Lush like a black velvet jacket. Dark fruit jamminess but not extracted, gripping acidity & sliky tannins w/a hit or black pepper spiciness. Long interesting finish

Lush, full bodied zin, all the hallmarks of Rafanelli, but nicely rounded out with a touch of Syrah. Still quite young, this drank remarkably better the second day.
