The Rotating Dinners, I.1: California Syrah (Chicago, IL) : A nose of Ribena, followed by fruit so ripe it's rotting. And then stewed. Alcoholic and blowsy, with some really nasty tannins.

Third bottle of 3. Last had several years ago and this we definitely past its prime. Although I tend to prefer older wines this really lost all of its fruit and didn't add the secondary and tertiary flavored you get with age. This wasn't bad it just wasn't anything. Which is a shame since it was very nice earlier in its life.

Dark purple and thick looking with a sharp nose of rich fruit and spice with strong earthy undertones. Again, a strong component of earth and spice on tasting with abundant fruit, a good grip and framework with the expected syrah spiceyness and an acceptable bite of pepper on the end...a tad rustic but it does smooth out a little with time as we enjoyed this over seven to eight hours and it stayed with us.

Good syrah flavors, but not very complex. Not a good QPR at $40.

Paso Robles, Pre HDR: From Rim Rock and Arroyo Grande Vineyards. Floral, liqueur nose with deep red berry fruit and a touch of pepper. Concentrated, extracted berry fruit. Talc. Somewhat austere, but nice.
