WTN: JadeMtn Syrah '95...(short/boring)

Tried this last night w/ a samwich:
1. JadeMtn Syrah HudsonVnyd/Carneros/NapaVlly (13.5%) 1995: Dark color w/ slight bricking; somewhat bretty/horsecollar slight pencilly/oak slight blackberry/Syrah/plummy some aged/vaguely Rhonish nose; soft somewhat tannic/dried out bit pencilly/oak rather bretty/barnyardy/horsecollar/unclean slight toasty/pungent/blackberry/Syrah flavor; long rather tannic/dried out fairly bretty/barnyardy/unclean slight blackberry/licorice/Syrah finish; some nice things therein but too bretty/unclean and too tannic/dried out to enjoy; has seen much better days; drink up or toss.

A wee BP:
1. This was one of the first really impressive Syrahs from LeeHudson's Carneros vnyd; one of Calif's great Syrah vnyds. Made by Doug Danilek, back in the good old days afore JadeMtn was bought out by the Chalone group. I thought the wine would easily go 10 yrs. I was wrong, once again. I don't recall the brett being so strong as it was in this btl.

Sounds kind of icky, Tom.

The wine wasn't icky in particular. Just didn't deliver up to expectations. This was after opening a Swan Zin FratiRanch '95 that was even more far gone.

The samwich was the highlight of a lost evening: peasant bread, heirloom tomatoe, smoked bacon, red pepper aioli, arugula pesto, NiemanRanch ham, and fresh arugula.
