Something about the co-fermentation and addition of white varieties helps the aromas, color and complexity. Thanks for your comment.

We generally like the more robust zins, from anywhere in the Sonoma area, but his one had a very respectable pedigree and our first bottle, just finished, was quite pleasant and sufficiently zinny for us. We found the robe to be visually pleasant although the nose was not as present as we like. Apparently the addition of the whites softens the overall palate, but we are not experts but noticed quite a difference from the zins that do not have whites added. A very nice change for us, and we will get some more *:-) Yes, agreed.
