  Blind California Reds: Deep ruby color. Bold aromas but the fruit is still bright, as cranberry sauce and raspberries mix with juicy black cherries, and I get a host of spiced coffee, clove and rose petals. Juicy acidity bounces off fleshy tannins, full bodied and chewy texture but not heavy (despite 15.5% alcohol). Tons of bright red fruit and black cherries, but I get a lot of non-fruit complexity in the form of anise, rose petals, tar and earth. Long finish. Delicious but serious Zinfandel, this comes from a vineyard perched at 2,800 feet in Northern Mendocino near Humboldt. Inlcudes 3% Syrah, this wine is aged in about ¼ new French oak.

  2016 ZAP Trade Tasting, a step up, maybe two steps up from their basic Zinfandel, black cherry, plum, fig, and allspice, more of the same on the palate, delicious, especially if you like fruit, medium/big body, and a long flavorful finish, better in two years.
