Christmas Dinner, on Christmas Eve this year, scheduling with the family worked best a day early for everyone.
Holy smoke...if you blinded me on this, I'd still guess Zinfandel, but maybe 6-8Y past vintage, amazing. Perfect cork at 21 years old, no Durand necessary.

Turley used Spenker fruit from 96-97 and this was Biale's first turn with the 1902-planted vineyard, which they made wine from until 2004. This is on the downturn, but still has plenty of fruit/spice along with more tertiary qualities and was a very enjoyable quaff. Would have liked to try it young. Looks like the fruit is now going primarily to estate wines which are not very highly regarded.

I forgot I had this 2001 magnum of Zin . It was past it's prime. Little or no fruit or spice. Too much alcohol. I drank it any way. Everyone check your old wines. I should have drank this wine 10 years ago!
