I am not sure why I liked this bottle so much than the prior one but this had a leanness and balance that I really enjoyed. I cannot explain my inconsistency.

Heavy, hot and a bit overripe for my palate. A roasted character without enough tannin or acid in the finish to be balanced to me. I like Jeff's zins that lean towards a leaner style.

Nice Zin. Particularly tasty the first night. Pleasant but subtle nose. Lots of dark fruit, a little bacon. High in alcohol but balanced and no heat. Less noteworthy night 3.

fantastic. Have only tried a couple of the JC Cellars 2011's but this was the best so far. Nice balance and body. Drinking well now.
