RE: Aging zinfandels...

Posted by jimbill on May 30, 2011 at 20:54:33:
Not a big fan of aging zins, but today I opened a bottle of '09 Turley Howell Mountain. A bit tart so it might benefit from some age.

My friend who buys the Turleys I refuse to pay for, opened '08 Hayne Vineyard Petite Syrah. I refuse to pay $75 for a Petite Syrah and I was proven correct. It was very nice, but still didn't have the heft or complexity to justify the cost. Luckily he didn't remember what he paid for it and could care less. He and his wife really enjoyed it.

It's all relative.
