43rd Annual Zinfandel Retrospective - the 2016s (R&D’s): Blind. Red color with a slightly lighter meniscus. Quite different from the first two with a dominant blue fruit overtone with plum, red berries and white pepper underneath. Full-bodied with abundant ripe berry fruit and peppery spice flavors. Mellows slightly in the glass but retains the blue fruit quality that makes it rather distinctive in this lineup. I like it. 91+ pts. (R&D)
My #4, Domino's #2 Group #5, 29 pts.
