16% alcohol...holds it ok if you like a bit more ripe, singular fruit driven wins but too one dimensional and ripe with no nuance or complexity for me...disappointing and I fear with new style of riper higher alcohol zin style those of you enjoyed aged zins and that had you left with structure and secondary flavors (in cab style) is no more.

Some residual sugar made for an interesting drink. The fruit was beginning to drop, and the acid was still very apparent. Very good earth tobacco quality and excellent length. It was very good, but I think I liked it because it was unusual more than perfect.

TOUCH OF SWEETNESS IN THE NOSE AND FLAVOR (1.2% RESIDUAL SUGAR) WITH PLUMS AND DEEPER FRUITS. MEDIUM LENGTH FINISH.

Over-ripe, late-picked style
