Enjoyed this second bottle much more than the first--perhaps partially as it was served as part of an elaborate multi-course meal. Turned out to pair very well with the salad course, acid on acid, which helped bring out the wine's cranberry-strawberry fruit.

I was very excited to get my hands on a bottle of this, at last, thinking who better to make "white" zin than my favorite zinfandel producer? So this review and rating might be more about my disappointed expectations than the wine. That said, it is very dry, think tart cranberry, and certainly improves with food--it's strong acid core and low alcohol help it pair with fatty grilled salmon, say.

I feel it was past it’s best. Should have consumed last year.
