Timber Crest Vineyard Zinfandel 2013

A little hot with cherry notes when first opened. After about 30 minutes, the fruit, and subtle vanilla & spice come to life. Good wine that should be better after a few years on its side. — 10 years ago

Walnut Wash Vineyard Petite Sirah 2012

I don't usually pair my wine with music, but this wine calls for two songs, Purple Haze by Jimi Hendrix and Purple Rain by Prince. I really wanted to mention Purple Rain, because that's one of my all time favorite songs, soundtracks, and movies. This Petite Sirah from Coquerel Wines in Calistoga, Califorina is so purple, it's almost black. The fruit flavors are equally dark: blackberry, blueberry, boysenberry, and plum. Add pepper, spice, and ample acidity and you have a total package Petite Sirah. You won't mind that your teeth are stained when you are finished sipping. This was a sample I didn't request, but do not regret receiving. If you love Petite Sirah, you will love this one. $39 direct from the winery. — 11 years ago

Estate Grown Walla Walla Valley Syrah 2003

This one grew strong in the dark! Enormous acrid/tannic nose that calms, but never fully dissipates. Thick and leggy. Thought it was going to be a fruit/tobacco monster, but, again, it settled down to a pretty well-rounded cherry bomb.
Edit: Beware the dregs.
