My Top-5 list of absolute definitive Syrah expression:
1. St. Joseph
2. Sonoma Coast
3. Cornas
4. SLO Coast
5. Hermitage
Extra Point: Barossa

I figured it was a great time for an all-out argument. Whoa whoa whoa I hear you say. OK then: what’s your list? Oh and BTW, this wine is stupidly good. Beyond good. Perfection. As St. Joseph almost always delivers. Everything you need in a syrah is here–nothing you don’t. I’m happy I have several more of these. What a ridiculous wine.
