Weekday Wine: California Syrah (Qupé Syrah 2006, $15)
September 23, 2008 | 1 Comment
We’ve taken it as a good omen that the first Weekday Wine post from our new home relates to a truly outstanding pick. Folks, for the money, we could not possibly expect a better deal than the 2006 Qupé Syrah. It’s just that good.Why? Stunning aromatics of berry, flowers and smoked meat deceived us into thinking that the wine would be heavy, but we were delightfully surprised to find a gorgeously elegant body.
To put it the way our local merchant did: this is easily a $25 or $30 wine. I mean, honestly, it really is.
Where to get it: We bought our bottle at Wine Impression in the Laurel Heights neighborhood of San Francisco. You can also find one using the Snooth search function under “Wine Locator” in the right hand column of this page, or by visiting wine-searcher.com or winezap.com.
