I'm not hard to please when it comes to a good Syrah from Northern Rhone. The spice, the tar, the black pepper and bacon fat, the black earth...it's all welcome in my book. This one is no different. Delicious and goes well with red meat. This particular instance it was paired with Chateaubriand. While not my first, second, or third preference for paring with such a delightful meat, for the value it served perfectly.

Domestic (err.... sortof) Syrah (... well, mostly...) (The Apt): This wine was my least favorite of the night. It lacked any of the complexity that the others had, wasn't particularly interesting, could taste more of the alcohol (interesting since it was a French), and generally wasn't great. I tried going back to it later but if anything the difference was more pronounced.

Some meaty and olive notes along with fairly plush, darker toned fruit. Not bad but it approaches the limit of being a bit flabby.
