Submitted by scott on Tue, 03/10/2009 - 10:33pm.This is a decent wine for the value. If you like syrahs I'd recommend giving this one a try. California is doing a pretty good job on the Syrah varietal.

Notes from their website:

2005 Petite Sirah, Parducci, Mendocino County, California
Submitted by scott on Sat, 03/07/2009 - 9:10pm.I really liked this wine. Very smooth and a pleasure to drink. Light on the tannins and a somewhat fruity taste. I'll get a case of this one.
Parducci has a website at http://www.mendocinowineco.com/Parducci.html but it is heavily flash based so I think it does a huge disservice to the winery and the potential customers. I really disliked their site.
Available at Spec's for $10

[UPDATE]
Here is a link to the winery. I didn't actually look on the cork for the URL which is where it is hidden. Just noticed it as I opened another bottle.

2005 Saint Joseph, Aurélien Chatagnier, France
Submitted by scott on Fri, 01/16/2009 - 10:41pm.The nose of this wine doesn't match the taste at all. After smelling it I was expecting a high alcohol taste. I was surprised to have a smooth drink and was totally fooled by the nose. Lots of tannins on the palette at the finish.
Available at Spec's for $35.
