I'm not a big syrah fan...

...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.
