The 2006 Syrah Black Bear Block is one of Zaca Mesa’s more seriously endowed wines. It was aged for 12 months in new French oak. Dense ruby/purple, with loads of spice, lard, oak, black cherries, and black currants, the wine is much more meaty, smoky, and earthy. With excellent complexity and richness, this wine should drink well for up to a decade. Tel. (800) 350-7972; Fax (805) 688-8796

This is always a great bottling, and Zaca Mesa’s 2006 Black Bear Block goes to the head of the line in newly released California Syrahs. It’s an enormously rich wine, filled to the brim with pure blackberries, currants, cocoa and peppery-spiced oak, and the finish turns to milk chocolate. But it’s dry. The 2006 vintage was a very good one for Zaca Mesa’s various Syrahs, and this is their best.——S.H.(4/1/2010)—— 94
