Zaca Mesa

Black Bear Block Syrah 2014

This will only get better with age and it’s already terrific. The biggest takeaway for me was the lingering taste of hot chocolate mix; subtle but undeniable. The bouquet is stuffed with cedar shavings, the dark fruit is strong but not obnoxious and the tannins coat the tongue, rather than attack it. — 6 years ago

I think all wine drinkers love opening an old bottle and having it taste amazing. Wine is a story, and there is not a better tale than when you articulate how you bought a bottle, aged it, and then opened it to find out it was still better than the majority of wines out there. This bottle was a bear to open as I couldn't get the cork out or push the cork in, that's a story in itself. A great nose that tells you it was and still is high quality. Great smoke, tons of herbs, and even some vegetables on the palate. Very refined and still kickin 20+yrs later! A great story with a great finish :). Thanks Ted & Jim! — 7 years ago

Aged Shiraz can be wonderful

Ridge Vineyards

Three Valleys Sonoma County Zinfandel Blend

Needs time to open. Starts out full and just lingers to get better. Black cherry, tannins that hug you. Nose of tobacco. Rich color. This winery is one that bleeds consistency. #300 for me. — 8 years ago
