Community Tasting Note

Friday, July 25, 2014 - In the "olden days" of this wine, I used to hold these bottles 8-10 years with no ill effect. Lately, though, I have found a lot more inconsistency in quality of the vintages. The '06 was pretty disappointing, so I drank the several 2007s I bought at about a $14 price point much quicker. I was really struck in the '07's youth with its potential, but I think it is probably about peak now. It is a tasty wine that is always a crowd pleaser. It was well integrated at this point, and we had with BBQ to take advantage of its sweeter side with the "raisinated" grapes. I basically think of this as a Zin alternative because I don;t drink Zin anymore, and yet there are some foods that do pair best with a rich, fruit sweet red--as long as there is no oak in the face.
