  • 2010 Cowan Cellars Syrah Moaveni Vineyard - USA, California, Sonoma County, Bennett Valley (8/28/2020)
    Classic tale: last bottle, best bottle. This is spectacular. IMO it’s the best wine Jim Cowan ever made. Flambé of raspberries, new leather, warm herbs, roasted meat, and a dash of finishing kirsch that all adds up to a beautiful mouthful of Syrah, marrying the best of California sunshine, with the French soul of Syrah. I opened it as a semi-casual pairing with Mexican takeout. Instead it captured my attention, and continues to capture it. I wish I had more. It’s just so staggeringly good.

Thanks. I think I have one or two of these left. Is Jim still making wine? I just did a quick web search and his web site didn’t come up.

No. He stopped.
