Recent wine reviews have gone so far as comparing Syrah as the bigger, bolder cousin to Pinot Noir. There are reports of Wine Sommeliers labeling the Syrah section of their wine list as ‘Syrah, what “Big Pinot” wants to be.’ The upside, if you like big Pinots and like to save a few bucks, try rekindling your love of Syrah.

Peter Murphy Vineyards Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon

The 2005 Vintage Cab was tasted on May 3, 2008 by a panel of 8 tasters in a blind tasting format and paired with Short Ribs with Tagliatelle.
Excellent Cab. Delicious fruit, blackberry, currants, nice balance, smooth, low on the tannins and acid but very enjoyable for the next several years.
