Forgot I had it, but its a very very smooth syrah with dark fruit flavors. Delicous. (3209 views) | | | Tasted by Syrogr on 6/4/2013 & rated 88 points: Again, excellent for the price. Buy again! (3375 views) | | | Tasted by Syrogr on 3/9/2013 & rated 89 points: A ten-dollar Syrah doesn’t get much better than this. Floral aromas; purple rust; a bit of pepper, lots of fruit and a little bite. (3581 views) | | | Tasted by ProfPaul on 2/17/2013: I like Syrah and I like Trader Joe’s so I had high hopes for this wine. Unfortunately, it was a disappointment. Undecipherable dark fruit and what tasted like under-ripe table grapes and green pepper. What it did not taste like was a Syrah or a Shiraz. (3447 views) |
| Trader Joe's Producer website
For all wines labeled 'Trader Joe's' on the front label, Cellartracker has adopted a policy of consistency with Producer = Trader Joe's.
The technical producer is usually listed at the bottom of the back label. Some producers listed are actual wineries with other own-branded wines and others are not. This producer within a particular label designation could change between vintages (and even within.) In order to provide information and make the wines easier to find, that producer name has been made a hidden search term for those wines.
Appellation also matters a lot with differentiating Trader Joe's wines.
Below is a list of the producer attached to particular Trader Joe's wine labels. Feel free to edit and/or amend as needed.

Syrah Varietal article (Wikipedia) | (Wines Northwest)
Note that some producers in the Northern Rhone distinguish between simply Syrah and "Serine", the latter described as ‘an ancient clone of Syrah, the berries of which are more oval-shaped and less deeply pigmented than Syrah’ by producer Tardieu-Laurent. Reserve The Wine News | Wine Country This Week | Wine Lover's PageUSAAmerican wine has been produced since the 1500s, with the first widespread production beginning in New Mexico in 1628. Today, wine production is undertaken in all fifty states, with California producing 84% of all U.S. wine. The continent of North America is home to several native species of grape, including Vitis labrusca, Vitis riparia, Vitis rotundifolia, and Vitis vulpina, but the wine-making industry is based almost entirely on the cultivation of the European Vitis vinifera, which was introduced by European settlers. With more than 1,100,000 acres (4,500 km2) under vine, the United States is the fourth-largest wine producing country in the world, after Italy, Spain, and France.California2021 vintage: "Unlike almost all other areas of the state, the Russian River Valley had higher than normal crops in 2021, which has made for a wine of greater generosity and fruit forwardness than some of its stablemates." - Morgan Twain-Peterson Central Coasthttp://www.ccwinegrowers.org/links.html
