2008 STRAIGHT LINE, Syrah, Santa Barbara County
Wouldn’t it be great if you could get brand name drugs at generic drug prices or if you could get a Porsche for the price of a Volkswagen or a $3500 an hour call girl for the standard $300 an hour? John Grant, our buddy from Turley Wine Cellars, has crafted this high performance and oh-so-sweetly-priced Syrah from Santa Barbara that tastes like forty five bucks. The overly fun flavors of blueberry, Rhone raspberry, and earthy spice are balanced with rock solid structure, a gushing mouthfeel, delicately infused French oak, and fuzzy tannins. The wine is phat and persistent on the palate with a long and explosive finish comparable to Star Wars, the Challenger, Die Hard, Peter North, and the health care plan.
