No need to aerate decanter or filter. Still drinking quite well with clean solid savory black fruit, though it has softened a bit more in the front end and mid palate. Still nice long finish though which is quite pleasing and worthy of a very good score,

Tasted this after a 2010 Seghesio Rockpile and was a little light at first. Not the peppery finish usually associated with a typical Rockpile or Dry Creek powerful Zin, but it is after all a Russian River Zin. Once I recalibrated, it turned out to be a very nice, smooth Zin and warranted of it's high WS rating. Very, very enjoyable.....

Nose of plum, blackberry, and spice. Bright and fulfilling over the palate. Slightly acidic finish.

Fine, full dark fruit flavors. Well integrated but, nothing remarkable to make it a flavorful standout.

Aromas and flavors of BlackBerry and dark cherry complemented by a creamy and elegant texture and finish.
