This one may have reached toward the later stages of its drinking window, but was still quite good. Needed about 10 minutes in the glass to open up. Went well with our BBQ ribs with a sauce recipe from Bottega in Yountville.

Medium dark garnet red. Sumptuous aromas of dark red fruit with matching flavors. Wine is balanced and in a very good place at this time. Leans towards the big side of Zins, but easily can be paired with foods such as barbeque, roast pork, steaks, etc.

Came in a bit under my expectations for a Rockpile SVD Zin, but my older daughter said, "Dad, maybe it's too soon," the smarty-pants, and I think she is right. By the end it had blossomed a bit. It's still not as complex as the Cemetery or the Jack's or Westphall, but it's quite good. I'll let the other sit a year--I've got plenty of other Rockpiles to hold me--and we'll see.
