Winery - Starry Night
* Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
This wine suffers from the sins that many Zins commit under California’s brutal summer sun. It’s chili-pepper hot, flat in vital acidity, and tastes like it was artificially sweetened.

Smells great, doesn’t taste that good. That’s the story on this Zin. The aroma’s promising in Zinny wild berries, peppery spices and chocolate, but the wine turns sweet and too soft in the mouth.

Dry and a bit rough in tannins, with berry, currant and pepper spice flavors. Best now with barbecue and roasted meats.

If you like your red wines soft, juicy and slightly sweet, this Syrah is for you. It’s packed with blackberry, currant, mocha, plum, raisin and black pepper flavors, wrapped into gentle tannins. Drink now.

Heavy and dull, this dry Zin has overripe flavors of raisins and prunes, and is quite tannic. Drink now.

Smells and tastes Porty, with smokey, caramelized wood and intense black currant flavors. It’s not exactly sweet, but high alcohol gives that glyceriney impression.

Ripe in tropical fruit, peach, pear and spicy flavors, well-oaked, and with a creamy texture and crisp acidity, this pretty Chard offers plenty of pleasure.

Plummy, jammy and spicy up front. It bursts forth with a bright-edged cherry component that’s followed by toasty oak, pepper and herb notes. The finish is moderate, with a slight tannic bite. Quite juicy.

Heavy in alcohol and overripe, but entirely dry, and the black currant, chocolate and pepper flavors will play well against richly sauced barbecue.
