2007 Boom Boom Syrah

This is a Syrah from Charles Smith Vineyards with grapes sourced from Columbia Valley, Washington State. Charles Smith is arguably the hottest Syrah winemaker going today. His high-end wines have a huge buzz, and the Boom Boom is his entry level Syrah.

This is a well made wine, it drinks way above it’s price range. It tastes good. It is smooth, the fruit is rich and spicy and the finish lingers. If you want a full bodied wine that tastes great and can be had for under $20 (I paid $15.99), this is an excellent choice.

A tip: check to see if a high-end winemaker you follow makes a “budget” wine. If a winemaker can make a wine that would inspire someone to spend $100 on a bottle, they can usually make a wine that rocks for under $20. Follow the winemaker and great wines can be found. Not all of the expensive guys care to make a budget wine, so support the ones that do.
