Much like the 2014, this is quite ripe and comes across as sweetness, despite fairly low residual sugar (.4%). Lots of layers and complexity and a nice dry finish, this is a fun and interesting Zinfandel quite different than most you'll find from California

A bit difficult to judge; ripeness level and residual sugar really sticks to your mouth, but quite tasty at the same time. While I recognize this is a stellar example of Sonoma Zin, I would have to be specifically in the mood to drink this. I used two ounces as a substitute for ruby port in a Smoked Brisket Soup recipe.

I can't say I've ever had a zin with any (and for sure, not this much) residual sugar. Very off putting for my taste, fights the natural dryness of the grape.
