Need Advice on Aging Wine

Not familiar with many of these. The Rosenblums are usually approachable fairly early. The PSs are faily easy. Other than well known inexpensive approchable ones such as Bogle's, most of them need eight to ten. It is best to know the reputation of producer or to have tasted them early on to insure that they are balanced before tucking them away.

The "new" style of Syrahs as with many current Cabernet Sauvignons made with overripe fruit, have questionable aging potential. The reason is that leaving the grapes hang to sky high brix levels also results in very high pH. High pH takes away the aging potential of wine.
