This is singing on opening. Nose is up front with raspberry and cranberry. A little pepper and ash. Palate is very jammy and fruit forward with some spiciness. Good acidity and a good finish. You do feel the heat just slightly. There is a little herb (dill/basil) as it finishes as well. This is a crowd pleasing zin and drinks great now. Acidity seems to get a little tighter after a couple hours. Good juice.

3 hour decant, brambly, rich, raspberry, lots of fruit, very full bodied, might be a bit more developed than the 2016. Great representation of foothill zin capabilities.
