Winecast 20 - Syrah
By Tim on Apr 26, 2005 in Podcast, Syrah
Today’s show is focused on the red grape of the Rhone: Syrah. I taste three wines made from this grape from 3 different continents, give you background on the origins of Syrah, why Aussie’s call their wines “Shiraz”, review the book, “Wine for Every Day and Every Occasion”, by Dottie Gaiter & John Brecher and share some listener comments.
Wines tasted:
- Greg Norman Estates, Limestone Coast, Shiraz 2002 ($11)
- Cave de Tain l’Hermitage, Crozes Hermitage, “Nobles Rives” 2001 ($14)
- Vina Robles, Estate Syrah 2001 ($12)
man the last time i had a Norman it was horrendous!( about 4 years ago) good to know its getting better cuz it IS a good value. ill try again. looking forward to the Vina Robles too
