  (Mostly) 1998, 2005, 2012 Northern Rhône (Chicago, IL): Served double blind. Clearly syrah with its black pepper aromatics, but the fruit is too forward and jammy, and I thought it was some sort of Californian thing with the juiciness so prominent. On the reveal of a $13 bottle, I have to say I'm really impressed at the quality of this.

  clean ruby, crimson hue. bright and clean palate, fruity, dry herbals, moderate spices, some earthy notes. medium body, fresh acidity, grainy tannins, soft and medium light. A very good food wine, clean and friendly, still very young.

  PnP. Haven't had one of these in ages, but picked one up at $12 to round out a case buy. Dark berries, garrigue and herbs, some pepper and spice. Body is a bit light, medium acid, some tannins in the finish. It smells and tastes like proper CdR, but it is a bit one dimensional. But for $12 before case discount, it's a good, food friendly wine.

  Paleish Ruby. Rustic and a little bit dirty. Lower flavor intensity and short finish. Some unripe fruits among the red berry profile. Acceptable but not terribly pleasant.
