In Reply to: RE: Aging zinfandels... posted by mkuller on May 21, 2011 at 12:11:52
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.

I have been a Zin fan since my dad gave me a bronze medal winner, no gold, from the early 70s. In 1971 I worked for a landscape architect in temecula ca and we installed an irrigation system for 80 acres of petite syrah which at that time not only had I not heard of it before, they were used only as a blending grape. Years later I saw a bottled petite and was very surprised.
...Saturday night with people over I opened a couple of older bottles.
2005 Turley Old Vines - excellent
2003 - Silver Oak Napa - a little too long in the bottle - too smoothed out, but ok with the steak.
...and Ridge, especially, would be two bigger zins I would recommend aging.
