A wee BloodyPulpit:
1. These are two new Zins in the LL portfolio. Not sure if the Katz-Ponzo is from the same vnyd that Ridge makes its Ponzo Zin. If it is, it's by far the best Zin out of Ponzo that I've had. I much preferred the Ponzo to the Banfield Zin. I liked them both a lot but thought them rather on the pricey side compared to a Bedrock or Carlisle.
