Decanted. Big aromas of blackberries and plums. Soft initial taste of dark fruit then an peppery explosive astringent middle.

Strong wine. Balanced and bold. Cherries and a great finish.

Opening the 2012 teldeschi after picking up 3 quarters worth of orders from Ravenswood (9bottles) got 2 extra 2014 teldeschi so I can enjoy this 2012 with Jessica who joined me on picking up my wine.

Slightly oxidized single vineyard, really opened up after about 2 hrs into decanting. Light tannins, fairly smooth, more leather than spice.

I am not a fan of Ravenswood. This wine had a pretty high VA, which expressed itself in the worst form, reminiscent of nail polish remover

2012. A large-scaled, structured Zin. Night one, tannin and alcohol were too present. Night 2, fruit more prominent. Classic Dry Creek scents of spicy blackberry, dark stony minerals, and and smoky maple syrup. Huge body. Will improve over next year.
