The winemaker calls this a “friendly” Syrah, and that just about sums it up. It’s a softly gentle wine, with a silky texture almost like Pinot Noir, and jammy flavors of berries and cherries and a dry, fruity finish.

Lots to like in this dry, richly layered Syrah, which takes the Northern Rhône for inspiration. It doesn’t have the acidity of Hermitage, of course, and is a little soft. But the rich, fine tannins nicely offset delicious currant, blackberry, mocha and cedar flavors.

Boasts some controversial aromas and flavors of coffee grounds, cola, smoke, pepper and brettanomyces that turned one taster on and another off. The texture is fine—soft and approachable—so worth trying if those descriptors sound interesting to you.

This is a simple wine, sharp in acidity and dry, with spicy Zin flavors of berries. Okay with pizza, burgers, barbecue.

This big, solidly built wine’s flavors revolve around darker notes of coffee, game and tar, There’s enough dark fruit to flesh out the midpalate with blackberry and plum before the finish turns tannic and drying. Drink young with a rare hunk of steak.

Lovers of soft, ripe, jammy Zins will exult in this one, a dry wine with plump flavors of blackberries, cherries, raspberries, carob and rum punch. It shows pretty good concentration for the price.
