As Ben, Estella, Dario and Maria couldn't make the first one for this year we had another go…some wines had been consumed in the interim so we went with a slightly different line up.
Lowe Zinfandel <15% Alcohol. All three had slightly pointy acidity and lightweight fruit.
Random Ridges - rather splendid stuff...
Ridge Lytton Springs - the 13 is a bit of an outlier in this bracket...
Geyserville - dragged out the magnum again...wasn't going to take no for an answer this time so it got popped after the tasting
Lowe Zinfandel >15% Alcohol
Australian Zins >16% Alcohol...the piggs peake is a bit of a favourite of mine I must confess...
In the end we opened the Piggs Peake, Cargo Road, Lowe Zinfandel 2003, Ridge Geyserville 1997
2003 Lowe Family Wines Zinfandel Mudgee

From Coravin. Biscuit, sweet spice, slightly leather, red plum. Juicy, spicy with oddly prickly tannins. Quite sweet plum fruit. Pleasant.

From Coravin. Polished cedar, sweet spice ,but also a little ripe black plums, slightly dusty, floral top note. Spicy, juicy, again that oddly prickly tannin note on the palate and the fruit is a little tart.

From Coravin. Polished oak, cream, slight caramel and vanilla. Strawberry and plum, toast, slight volatile acidity. On the palate it's zestily juicy, prickly tannins, the volatile note is less present here and the fruit is red hued and quite lightweight.
