WINE TALK
21

Keever.

22

WOW! Thank you for all of the referrals. Now I need to review and see who we can work in amongst our schedule. Thanks again, I will be sure to report who we get to and our thoughts.

Cheers!

23

Limerick lane makes some good syrah and syrah blends

24

SHANE (Finley)

25

If I could get into one place it would be Colgin.

26

Agree - David Ramey flies a bit under the radar but the Ramey Rodgers Creek Syrahs I have had were excellent.

Celia does a great job with that one.

Also Copain/Carlisle/A-R/Windgap as previously recommended

28

Skylark’s Syrah from Rodgers Creek Vineyard is even better.

29

last i checked keever’s syrah was no longer, but was a great one.
bevan and riverrain are top shelf. both totally reflecting the terroir of bennett valley while stylistically being on opposite ends of the spectrum.

30

Shafer makes a Syrah/Petit Syrah blend (Relentless) that is mighty tasty. They are in Napa.

31

Peay.

32

2010 was the last vintage. Estrella River clone from the Page-Nord vineyard.

33

In Sonoma: Balletto, Loxton, Dutton-Goldfield, Russian Hill

34

Siduri makes some fine syrah under their Novy lable, You need to make an appointment.

35

+1 for Wind Gap, Arnot-Roberts, Peay, Ramey

Also I have enjoyed a couple of Failla’s syrahs

36

I just went to Lagier Meredith’s web site and ordered a couple bottles of their Syrah including '08 vintage. Thanks for the recommendation.

37

Has anyone mentioned Apsara???

38

I’ve got some Apsara. The first bottle I opened did not meet my expectations. However, I think it was too young… needs several years in the bottle IMO.

39

Russell is a on a roll. Everything I’ve had of his lately is fantastic.

+1

Had multiple bottles of Relentless. Excellent juice!
