Fruit picked slightly early, leading to much brighter acidity, a softer feel and less jammy red Fruit than a normal Cali Zin. Almost Pinot like. Not terrible, but not something I would seek out again.

Had all of the great fruit that you expect and want from a Zinfandel, but with great balance and none of the over the top jammy fruit and alcohol.

Surprisingly high acidity, light tannins, fruit forward nose, and great mouthfeel. Drank in pairing with homemade pizza, perfect and easy drinking.
