Unfiltered, to judge from the heavy sediment, but don’t worry about it, it’s a good sign, not a bad one. It’s a huge Zin, not at all like those superripe soft ones with residual sugar. The tannins stick out, and so does acidity, but it’s a structurally elegant wine, built along Cab lines.——S.H.(3/1/2007)—— 87
