Easy drinking wine and a great value for the price when purchased at Costco. I don't think I would recognize this as a Syrah without the benefit of the label, but, that contributes to its crowd pleasing appeal. Not the best wine, but, a great value.

This is an excellent wine for the price, $6.99 at Costco!! It's clear and clean, color is a very deep red, bordering on purple or plum. On the nose it has a medium intensity with aromas of black pepper, tobacco, tar, blueberry, and black cherry. It's medium bodied, medium tannins, higher acidity but not noted as much in the taste as it is afterward. As the wine opens up, you'll taste vanilla, black pepper, black cherry, tobacco, and other black …

Blueberry and blackberry fruit. Extracted but not too heavy on palate. One dimensional, but for $8+ to be expected. Drying tannins.

Really good value. Spicy, dark fruits, and a hint of anise. Dry and some tart tannins.

Does not smell or taste like Syrah...or anything other than a Washington red. Quaffable.

I am a Syrah fan, but I was disappointed in the taste of this one. Wine Enthusiast gave this a really high rating, but I disagree. It's a bit sour and didn't have any complexity. It is listed as a great value, and I agree the price $9 is nice. Maybe a couple years of storage could help this one.

Very good syrah, soft and flavorful with a nice lingering finish, great QPR

PnP, with aromas of ripe blackberry, vanilla and smoke on the nose. Fruit forward, with (almost) sweet blackberry up front on the palate, followed by notes of charcoal and oak. Not much for refinement or complexity, but a crowd-pleaser for sure.

Pop n Pour. Smoother and softer the 2nd day. Very good QPR for such an inexpensive price point.

Not overwhelmed with this wine. I was looking for some balance of fruit, tannins, oak, and alcohol but didn’t really find it. Overdone on the fruit side as the other elements were too muted. Just didn’t find the complexity I was looking for in this wine.

Initially had a little yeasty nose but after decanting for an hour it went away and had a little smoky cured meat nose. Tasted of spices and currents with a light finish of smokiness. Very good wine for the price.

Just ok. I don’t quite get the high rating. At the low price point it’s a good deal for a pop n pour anytime wine.

Good wine. Very good price. May have more sulfates as I felt a little congested when I drank it. Would buy another bottle.

This is the second questionable wine enthusiast high score I have experienced. While I think it’s a great buy for $6.99 Costco price. It’s just not a 91 point Wine. Fruity, Dryer than expected- which was a pleasant surprise. Leaves a bit of a cough medicine finish.

Good fruit forward wine with mellow tannins. Blackberry fruit with a balanced medium finish. Good QPR for a good any day wine. Would buy again.

2014 was good. 2015 tastes like vinegar. Possibly one bad bottle?
