Visiting Rafanelli was great fun, because David was a very interesting character, AND they were harvesting, so I finally got to see wine being made! This Zinfandel was clearly better and more concentrated (old vines) than any other we tasted that day. I’ll complete the note in 4-6 years, when it has aged to perfection!
