  I bought this on WineBid in early 2020 and held it at about 55 degrees until drinking. This is still drinking great. Started a bit rich and reductive, but then softened to the characteristic Swan spice and lift, gaining in complexity over the evening. I saved about half the bottle for another night.

  This wine is getting better!! Blackberry explosion, with true Russian River Valley acidy. At 16.4 alcohol you would think this zin would burn your throat, but it's so well balanced! Love it! Wish they hadn't ripped up this vineyard.
