Tuesday, May 30, 2017 - Hoops and McCabe got it right. While I found the tannins on the finish bitter a few years ago per my note, this wine has come around. Some jammy black fruit notes along with warm spices. Yes, it's still got a sledgehammer finish that keeps it out of the 90's but it's all integrated and the wine is not old or tired tasting. It needed time to show its potential. And it's a beautiful example of Cali Syrah. I'd say it's at peak now. I've been drawn to Zaca Mesa Syrahs forever because they're unapologetically big and that beats out the easy-drinking stuff any day for me.
