Heading out to Northern California Wine Country in a couple of weeks and I’m in search of some really terrific Syrah. I’m sure for every 10 response there will be 10 different answers so hit me with who you feel is doing a great job with Syrah!
We have had a couple bottles from Copain and really enjoyed them and are in the process of finalizing an appointment there for one of our two Sonoma days. Joseph Swan is also on the list but we really enjoy just about everything that they produce.
Excellent recommendation! I completely forgot about this producer. We’ve enjoyed a bottle at a local restaurant here in Delray and really enjoyed it, thanks again!
I’ve always liked the Syrah at Pride.
We just had some great Syrah at both Unti and Swan on Sunday.
Carlisle makes a great Syrah.
Gary Farrell makes a good modern, stylized Syrah.
Davis Family is always excellent.
Big +1 on Arnot Roberts - probably the best winery visit I’ve ever done and a perennial favorite for Syrahs.
Another spot worth checking out may be Sky. They make great Syrah (that happens to be very affordable to boot) and they’re pretty under the radar. I’ve never done a visit, but based on the website and my interaction with them, it looks to be an idiosyncratic and interesting spot, and could be worth a look if you can get in touch with them beforehand.
Enfield could also be an interesting stop with great Syrahs and an intimate experience (again, never visited there personally, though).
