...7 of us tasted 6 red blends over $20. Low score wins.

6. 2010 Chateau Cantemerle Haut Medoc $50 - 42pts - 7 lasts - not often do we get unanimous consent on a wine when nothing is apparently wrong with it - it just didn't have as much fruit as the others.

5. Unanime Gran Vino Tinto Mascota Argentina $25 - 28pts - again the foreign wines can't keep up with the CA ones.

4. Cypher Monarchy Paso Robles $40 - 24pts

3. Burrell School Valedictorian Santa Cruz Mtns $45 - 21 pts - 1 first

2. 2015 Freakshow Michael David Lodi $20 - 16pts - 2 firsts - I had tried this by the glass at a restaurant recently and it had impressed me enough to write the name down. (my #2)

1. 2013 Niner Wine Estates Red Central Coast (GSM) $25 (Costco) - 16pts - 4 firsts (my first)

Actually #1 and #2 tied on points but the Niner had more firsts. The thing they both have in common is they are syrah-based. All but #6 were pretty good.
