I just finished a bottle of Fess Parker 1996 Rodney's Vineyard Syrah.
I don't need one hand to count the number of Syrahs I have had over the years. But, this was an exceptional bottle of wine. What have I
been missing by ignoring Syrah and what are some of the better values?
Follow Ups:
Cline, Qupe, Preston, and Bonny Doon do an excellent job with Syrah in CA. Cline's Mourvedre's are terrific.From France, look for St. Joseph's--in great vintages they can give some Cote-Roties a run for their money, are a lot cheaper, and go great with food. Amaze your sommelier and forego that Bordeaux for a St. Joseph next time you need something to go with the rack of lamb. Syrah rules! Well, that's a bit much, but it's still a hell of a value (see how long that lasts).

Try Shiraz - you may find a few more
Might I suggest 1997 Valley of the Moon Syrah. My ex's favorite turned mine. Of course there is a story behind that.
