Signature Series Zinfandel 2015

Zin sounded right on this cool, rainy day. Totally rewriting my review after an hour. A big whiff of sour fruit (not bad). Thinner mouthfeel than i expected. The taste is dried fruits: prune, dates, apricot. Chocolate, licorice, sweet things. There in an odd charred element, a bit like pipe tobacco but burned. Not terribly off putting, but I do think it's getting tired. 11 years! @Doug Powers That's like senior citizen old!

@Dave, you can see what might be available near you using Wine-Searcher.com — don’t bother paying (my position), though if you know a friend who has a subscription, you can see all available entries!!

Citizen Cider

Unified Press Traditional Semi - Dry Cider

Made with apples from my hometown orchard (for some of their ciders, not all as I understand it). A perfectly made semi-dry with just a bit of tartness. Great for non-cider drinkers. I know I’ve said this about other ciders but it really applies here (I tried it on both of my parents who don’t like anything sweet and received good/surprised reactions all around). Would love to see this in more restaurants - getting pretty tired of Angry Orchard and other sweet ciders. I also really appreciate the “Get Excidered” pun. — 7 years ago

The Full Nelson Hard Cider

Dry hopped cider- it's almost like apple beer! The hops come through floral, grassy and lovely with only minimal aggressiveness and a tense bitter/acid balance, dry crisp and lingering complex, herbaceous flavors. Would pair with a citrusy salad, and some quality weed. #hypothetically — 11 years ago

This wine has peaked but is a healthy senior citizen Obvious sweet black fruit. The tannins and oak have faded in the background making this soft and luscious without any hard edges. — 6 years ago

2016 Vintage. 15.4% Alcohol. 51% Syrah/49% Petite Sirah. Ding, ding, ding! Whoa baby. This is massive and amazing. Lavender, tobacco, iron, blood. Rated 95 by Jeb, but we thought it was better. Only 121 cases produced. From our Dec Paso anniversary trip. — 6 years ago

The Factor Barossa Valley Shiraz 2013

Another excellent wine! The Factor here is instead of co-fermented Shiraz/Vionier, this one is a 100% Shiraz. (Like my pun there?)

Anyway, down to brass tax. Pure expression of Shiraz from Barossa - you will be corrected by an Australian citizen if you say it "Bah-roe-ssah".. it is pronounced "Buh-raw-suh". Surprisingly, this wine was more floral in its aromatics than the two co-fermented wines, which I find Viognier brings to the mix. With their wines, smoke is definitely the theme, and with this one also comes aromas of jasmine tea, rosewater, decaying violets, a light tar component, dusty soil, espresso roast, bing cherry, black plum skin, and eucalyptus. The wine is dark, but even looks less rich than the RunRig and Descendant, with more medium plus tannins, and lean structure - over ripe strawberry, tobacco, charred beef, Smokey minerals, leather, black currant, and a textured finish. Beautiful layers to this wine, and less of the fruit forward nuances that a lot of Shiraz tends to have. Like a good Cornas. This wine really is a great reflection of the terrior of Barossa Valley, where there are the oldest Shiraz vines in the world, AND the oldest soils known on planet earth due to the fact that Australia has never seen an ice age, phylloxera, or any vine diseases.

Oo..that I would love to find. I can only imagine their RunRig or Descendant at 10 years old.. or even a bottle of The Laird. I'm really starting to fall in love with Aussie wine.

Wow, just found them. Looks like I'll have to save up a little for these, but vintages back to 1998! That would be awesome.
