Generally I like this wine, but this was way too sweet with a ton of sediment

Delicious wine before, during, and after dinner. Great fruit, structure, and acidity. This is a 5 year old wine that we wished we had more of.

No other recent tasting notes. No question the tannins have outlived the fruit, but that isn’t the problem. There’s a meanness here; tough, angular and hardly identifiable as zin. Definitely needs food to mitigate the roughness.

1/8/2018 - astro Likes this wine: 90 points

Found this old bottle in my cellar. Opened it expecting to throw it out. Initial impression was strong worcheshire aroma; wine itself was garnet colored, not faded brown. No port characteristics that would have indicated flawed wine.

Decanted it. When tasted after an hour it was very attractive. The nose was floral with an overtone of chutney.The taste was sweet and fruity. After the initial sweetness, there were darker flavors of bitters and dried cranberries. The fact that it was 15%+ Alcohol may have had something to do with it's very drinkable state; perhaps earlier tastings were somewhat tannic or alcohol hot, which this old bottle did not exhibit.

In all, this is an attractive wine that drinks nicely even in its elderly state. While in general it is not a good idea to over keep wines (especially this wine which was always non-pretentious and available for drinking when young) thos did show me that wines can surprise you and still be good far past their expected pull date.

-- decanted immediately before tasting --
-- tasted non-blind over a few days --
-- 68% Grenache, 16% Syrah, 16% Petite Sirah --

NOSE: red-fruited; high-toned; ballpoint pen ink; does have some aged fruit aromas; expressive; moderate complexity.

BODY: sediment present; hazy; violet-garnet color of medium-deep depth; {forgot to note weight}

TASTE: Australian black licorice – molasses and anise; plenty of tertiary character; high acidity; hint of oak; hint of coffee; 15.2% alc. not noticeable; the Syrah and Petite Sirah are very nice here; quite impressed with how well this has aged; held-up well on Days 2 and 4, but I don't see this improving from here, so Drink Now.

Poured into a decanter for about 15 mins. Wine is tight right now. Probably needs 2+ hours to open up.

15.2% ABV , 80% Zin and 20% Tannat

The tannat really kicks it up a notch - to a big inky Zinfandel. Really great. The tannins are quite smooth, I would not hold past 2016.

Had some congestion which limited my senses but this was a nice light zin. Light/medium bodied, a little bit of raspberry and sweet red fruit. Probably a nice food wine. Again my senses were not quite all there.

2006 Dover Canyon Syrah Jimmy's Vineyard

5/13/2015 - grafstrb wrote: 84 points

-- popped and poured --
-- tasted non-blind over 2 – 3 hours --

NOSE: dark fruits --- in the black/purple end of the spectrum; fumey; blackberry jam; caramel/oak.

BODY: medium-grained particulate matter present; dark garnet color of medium-great to great depth; slight bricking at the edges; medium-full to full bodied.

TASTE: very oaky; very tannic; 16.4% alc. can be tasted on the palate and felt in the belly; big/ripe; seems to have adequate acidity; oaky boysenberry jam; was much better in its youth; despite not tasting "aged," this wine is on the wrong side of peak. Drink now.

Unreal. A blend of 80% zinfandel and 20% tannat from Paso Robles. Dark purple color. A flash of brilliance in a bottle. That moment when you learn a secret that nobody else knows and they never will. Staring deeply into the glass, your thoughts swirl around with images of blackberries, raspberries, boysenberries, and plums. A dash of mocha, spice and oak. Smooth, balanced, with a long finish. BBQ lamb chops anyone?

Very fruity, just a hint of spice. A fine quaff, this was a miserable pairing with chili, cornbread, Hawaiian pizza, rice &/ or peas. Take home: Drink solo.
