Looking for something similar (and domestic 🇺🇸)

[KhaN]

$150 for domestic Syrah is insane. At that price you should buy Cornas for peace of mind.

I wish you nothing but luck, and please report back if you have success, but I agree you’re going to have a tough time. You’re not just looking to duplicate Cornas, you’re looking to duplicate one of the most classic old-school Cornas producers of them all. I love and cellar many of the US wines mentioned above (Halcon, Lagier-Meredith, ESJ), but as noted no one is ever going to guess Cuchet-Beliando when trying any of them blind.

This. Love a lot of domestic syrah, but it’s totally different from Cuchet-Belliando.

I was floored this year by a 2014 terre rouge high slopes. Had the savory element that I’ve only found in Rhône wines

Yes, I’ve had some of their wines. They do develop savory tertiary notes, but I think the fruit character and overall style are still quite a bit different from traditional producers in the Rhône.
