Fetzer 1999 Valley Oaks Syrah (California)

Country: US / Valley Oaks
Variety: Syrah California
Winery: Fetzer / California

Good color, and the kind of flavor that many countries would kill for in so inexpensive a wine. It’s ripely fruity, with firm tannins and dry acidity. Well-rounded and supple, this is an excellent value in an elegant dinner wine. —S.H.
