The wine is dry, soft, elegant and lovely, with full-bodied black cherry, currant, red licorice and cola flavors. It certainly is one of the best Syrahs you can buy at this price. 1 Note

Chunky, earthy, malty and fruity all at the same time, but clacky and tough in the mouth, with big, grabby tannins supporting generic black fruit flavors. An aggressive, hard wine with sappy, jammy flavors; it delivers full kick and size. 1 Note

A ripe, easy-drinking Syrah from a big brand, this has all the earmarks of commercial success. Jammy raspberries mingle with deft touches of vanilla, while the finish features just enough acid and tannin to remind you that you’re drinking a red wine. Drink now. 1 Note

One taster found this wine a bit herbal, but the others found it a pleasant mix of berry and cherry fruit, tinged with vanilla and savory, meaty notes. Drink now–2010. 1 Note

A touch damp and mealy at first, although it clears up when given time. The palate features slightly salty fruit in the plum and blackberry family, while the mouthfeel is sticky, bordering on rich. Stays the course with little to no variation, but what’s here is pretty good. 1 Note

Leans toward the red-fruit side of the Syrah fruit continuum, with raspberry and strawberry flavors strongly marked by herbal, peppery, menthol notes. Well made, but a bit too green for our tastes, with some hard tannins on the finish. 1 Note

You’ll get tons of upfront cherry, blackberry and jammy black raspberry fruit in this simple, likeable wine. It’s dry, with a nice bite of tannins and good balancing acidity. 1 Note

Columbia pioneered syrah in Washington state, and still leads the pack at this price point. Smooth and varietal, it mixes ripe (not raisiny) fruit in a sleek, muscular wine laced with vanilla, smoked meat and tar. 1 Note

Unusually dark and full-bodied for a rosé, this wine could almost be served at room temperature. It’s dry, with ripe, jammy cherry and black raspberry flavors, and a spicy, peppery finish. 1 Note

Ripe and seductive, and displaying raw power, pomp and quite a bit of charbroiled, dark character. Very fruity and alive, with crusty black plum and berry flavors. Fully tannic but not mean. Modernin style; really good. Imported by Palm Bay Imports. 1 Note
