A wee BloodyPost:
1. This is their basic Estate Zin. The Bilbro's first release was the 2011 vintage, after they had purchased the LimerickLaneVnyd. Jake didn't think they had really dialed in the farming of the vnyd until about this 2015 vintage. One of the things that I really like about the LL Zins is, because of their low yields, they always have a pretty brisk acidity to them, despite their alcohol levels.
