Good California winery, but has lost some of it's quality to quantity, IMO.
I'm with you, most of the Zins and Petite Sirahs should be had in the first couple of years. I recently opened a couple of Turleys that I'd put down for three years. Good drinking but I don't think they would have improved any more.
Follow Ups:
Just googled it and that's the one.
I picked up my first "older" bottles @ Shield's Date Garden (on the way to Palm Springs from LA) along with other/older CA red wines from the mid to late 60's/early 70's.
They had old/deep wooden bins for their wine that went two (or maybe three) bottles back from the front facing and I purchased quite a bit of the "back stock" @ the price of the old sticky tags.
Some other names I remember are Krug (Charles Krug?), Gallo, Mondavi, Agustus Sebastiani(SP?), and as far as PS goes something with Canon or Canyon in the name.
I purchased enough to fill the trunk (and the back seat compartment) of a Volvo and surprisingly enough more than 2/3 of it was still vibrant/good.
The quantity caused me to rent cellar space, and then the rest is history until I stopped collecting/storing wine in the late 90's.
...the 2015s were released yesterday.
I have a friend with some 2009s and 2010s and they're getting spectacular about now.
