2009 Karly Zinfandel Warrior Fires

Amador County more

3/13/2022 - IlonaN wrote: 92 points

Consumed the last bottle of a case purchase back in 2011, just as Karly was being sold to the Turley wine conglomerate. A nostalgic bottle becasue Karly wines were among the first we really paid attention to. The Warrior Fires was always a favorite.
Being Zin it is of course somewhat jammy and over-ripe, but also succulent and nicely balanced with acidity. Farewell Karly.

Winebar [4 Whites, 8 Reds, & 4 *shared* Bottles] from 06/19/20 (Vintage Wines Ltd., San Diego, CA): THANK you for sharing this PHENOMENAL wine, José! :)

Grapes from vines 1st planted in 1922 @ 1,500 feet near Plymouth, the frt now being used by Turley

N: Closed; Earth, berries, herbal element, poss smoke?

P: LM, poss Med, body; Nice, almost swtish frt met by an astringent PUCKER which seamlessly morphs into a very LONG, BALANCED finish with a TANGY/swtness (60:40) to the very MINIMAL, now very, VERY fine, food friendly tannins. Not even REMOTELY tired, I can see this going another 5-6 yrs, perhaps being usable @ the table for ALL of that! My EXC+/Exceptional- (94-97/100 using that metric).

Eighty-six. Decanted one hour ahead. Nice nose of cedar, black cherry, plum. Strong on the palate, with alcohol high, amid cherry and plum flavors that persist even after all this time in the bottle. Finishes with a bit of grip. Still worthy.

This one aged well with 4 hours of breathing.Slight taste of caramel, mild finish that begs for another. A fine example of Amador County wine.

Decanted 1 hr. ahead. Medium-deep garnet with flashes of orange. It shows a zinfandel nose, with blackberries and blueberries, a bit of white pepper. Juicy and fruit-forward on the palate in a medium to light body. Still somewhat tart, with simple flavors. Finishes with some dryness and cedary tones, just a wisp of tannins. Completely drinkable.

Fresh and youthfully exuberant day one, a bit of pruned black berry note developed over night in the reefer.

This surprised me with it's over the top oakiness, which I though would not happen with the age and pedigree of the wine. We found little of what we expected, which should have been tightly wound fruit, some fine tannic structure and lively acid. This wine was just over the top oaky and flabby.

Yes...it is mourvedre. Small nose. Longish slightly muddy tannin finish. This would be good for a blending project.

another example of the aging potential of Ca wines. The alcohol has moderated into a symphony of cherry nuanced complexity. Fabulous with turkey in madeira sauce, a Thanksgiving gem. Still tasting young and fresh.

Opened this last month and it was wonderful! I wish I had more bottles.

The wine looks violet colored. There is no sediment in the bottle. It smells like oak and hay/straw. The body is medium/full. The wine has polished texture. The wine finishes long. The wine has low acidity.

This wine does seem to be improving with time in the bottle - the fruit is becoming more round and pronounced.

A smooth dessert wine that tastes like fresh apricots. The flavor coats the throat and finishes strong. Sweet it pairs well with chocolate dominated treats. Wish I had bought more.

Just after opening, this wine seamed a little weak. However, with time, say a couple of days, the wine had more body, displayed more fruit, was richer, and the mouthfeel was more round. I think there is good potential here. Other than that, it was a very good everyday drinking wine!
