That seems reasonable. Many wines today don't last even that long.
(Of course, I'm speaking of the cheaper varieties.)

I'll have to look for some of that.

You will have to probably buy it from the winery. Kinda pricey.

You can find others of their Zins around. They are usually all good. A
little high on the alcohol (14.8 and higher) so they can be a little
*hot* tasting.
