2018 A. Rafanelli Zinfandel

Community Tasting Note

Likes this wine:

Saturday, December 19, 2020 - Not sure what inspired me to open such a young bottle, but it had been a few years since I had a Rafanelli Zin. Very strong showing, despite being too young. Pure and laser like red fruit, forest floor, spice. Clammed up a bit with air. Well balanced a full textured without being overdone.

In the past younger vintages showed a lot of oak that needed to integrate, this did not, it was just built like a tank. This needs a few years minimum. Stock up on this.
