These wines didn’t disappoint, and although expensive, they do offer a pretty good incentive to purchase again, as this wine is well made. The following are my notes on the 2004 Cuvee Christine. Thanks Tim for hosting!

Because of a Feb 3 tasting I went to, I've experienced many excellent syrahs lately. My favorite of them all is the 2003 gliAngeli Proprietary Red Wine produced and bottled by Stolpman Vineyards, Santa Ynez Valley, Lompoc, California. It's 95% Syrah and 5% Malbec. Intense, beautiful bouquet and flavors of briary, earthy, blue fruit and dusty milk chocolate. Perfect by itself or with a mozzarella, mushroom tart with dried rosemary leaves, a thick steak or lentil and kielbasa soup. I’m surprised none of my recent favorites seem to have made the list.
