Concannon Central Coast Stampmaker's Syrah 2004
Region: Bay Area/Central Coast
Winery: Concannon Vineyard
Variety: Stampmaker's Syrah

A little pricier than I normally would spend on a sitting around watching South Park wine but, what can I say, I am sometimes easily distracted by an interesting bottle and nifty name. The bottle is really cool - seems heavier, sturdier or something. OK, not much to do with the wine. As for the wine - extraordinary! It has been a couple days so I don't recall the details but it was just the kind of wine I love. Distinct fruitiness without the jelly factor. Dry but doesn't chalk up your mouth too much. Rich and smooth - helps to let it breath a smidge - but great just out of the gate.
