In Reply to: RE: Syrah tasting... posted by mkuller on January 14, 2011 at 10:32:11
What were the others?
And do you not like syrahs in general or just these?
I keep reading where the press, WS, WA, Houston Chronicle, etc. keep predicting syrah as the next big deal.
Maybe, but not for me.
By the way, a friend of mine who won't pay more than $12 for a wine just was praising the Yellow Tail. I served it at my daughters 16th birthday party (only the adults) 10 years ago. It was just beginning to import here. Everybody liked it. Had it a couple of years later and it seemed to have gone downhill in quality. Haven't had it since.

...over the years, I've found a few I like and picked them up.I love big zins but most syrahs are just too big to drink without food.
Rosenblum has made a couple of pretty good syrahs. When we were in the Willamette Valley last year searching for good pinot noir, I bought the syrah instead of the pinot at Domaine Serene.
Last night there was:
Zaca Mesa 2006
Qupe 2008
Brassfield 2004
Albert Sterling 2006
Layer Cake Shiraz 2008...and as a fill in for my missing friend, I picked up a bottle of the Yellow Tail at Safeway.
Personally, I rated the Qupe first, the Yellow Tail 5th and the highly rated Zaca Mesa last, due to a musty nose.

Thanks for the heads up. Personally, a straight syrah is not necessarily my favorite either. When integrated into a GSM or other Rhone blend they can be fantastic though.
