Sonoma County Syrah 2008

9.4

In the running for shocker of the year so far. Not only because of how youthful it was, but in how it cleaned house at a small Syrah tasting with my local group.

I popped this ahead of time to try a glass because I was a bit skeptical of how it would show…my jaw about dropped when I smelled this wine. My goodness…deep and dark florals, violet, stemmy green herbs, black pepper. Wonderfully balanced and integrated on the palate. Whole cluster profile shines through in a supporting role, with the pepper-crusted blackberries, mocha, olive, charcoal. Not rich, not lean, fastball down the middle. Nervy acidity still. This has a cool-climate vibe to it with just a kick of richness to really seduce you. Brilliant. I may have underscored this.

@Severn Goodwin : It was young, but better on day two. I’m hit or miss with some of their wines, but I always like this wine (Obsidian Syrah). It was a 2014.

Thanks @Shay A I'm still resting a few 2012's. If you ever get a chance to get/taste the rosé, don't pass it up

Palisades Vineyard Petite Sirah

Blackberry vanilla custard nose with some wood spice undertones. Enticing. Great balance of fruit, dried fruit and wood on the palate. Luscious and chewy. Mid life. Craving ribeye. — 17 days ago

Hayne Vineyard Zinfandel 2012

2012 vintage This is the pinnacle of historic California red wine. Aging much like a Cabernet. Sad that most Zin has been pulled from Napa. — 2 months ago

Montafi Ranch Zinfandel

Took 30 mins to open but really enjoying the boozy strawberries and fine dusty secondaries and waining structure. Really in an excellent place but I could see 3-5 years of pleasure left to give. Can’t wait for the next glass. — 19 days ago

It’s a Zinfandel from Carlisle. What do you expect? One of the top producers of this variety in all of the country.  — 6 months ago
