Syrah

Last night we finished off a bottle of 2002 Brophy Clarke Syrah Rodney Shull Vineyard that we had opened on Friday night. Great stuff, especially for the $13 price tag at our local wine shop. After that was done we popped open a 2003 Fess Parker Syrah Santa Barbara County ... also great stuff, though not as cheap (I think it was close to $30 at the winery). Really deep red color, with a slightly watery rim. Great nose and taste. Wish we'd gotten another bottle at the winery ... but oh well! At least I think there's another glass or two left in the bottle that I'll be able to enjoy this evening. Or maybe not, with the AFC & NFC Championship games on today, it's going to be leaning towards a Bud Light day ... and it's always hard to follow those up w/ a glass of wine.
