Just starting to dive into this region and am working on wrapping my head around the wines…  A couple standouts from recent line-ups include…

Mark Ryan’s Wild Eye Syrah - Has an oaky edge but beautiful fruit and depth.

Va Piano - Their ‘07 Syrah shows nice complexity and mixes ripe fruit and balance/elegance perfectly.

Buty - Two awesome wines.  The ‘07 Rediviva of the Stones(77% Syrah/23% cabernet) shows tons of depth… and the cab component really shows.  The ‘07 Beast Syrah is straight up, pure Syrah and showed the best on the second day.  Both highly recommended.

I’ll keep posting on the standouts from weekly tastings.
