Bright violet color. Red berries and cherry on the fragrant, spice-accented nose and palate. Juicy and light on its feet, showing good finishing focus and cut. In an uncomplicated, easygoing style and ready to drink.

The 2010 Syrah impresses for its length and textural finesse. This is a medium-bodied, feminine style of Syrah, and while varietal notes never really develop, the wine shows quite a bit of polish and overall harmony within its price point.

Anticipated maturity: 2012-2015. I have tasted the Qupe wines since the mid-1990s, when I sold them in one of Boston’s top restaurants. This year I found some of the entry-level wines terrific, especially considering their very fair prices. I can’t say I have the same level of enthusiasm for Qupe’s top bottlings. Tel. (805) 698-3889
Smelling and tasting like a quality Côtes du Rhône, the 2010 Qupé Syrah shows loads of Syrah fruit, pepper, licorice, and smoked earth to go with a medium-bodied, bright, crisp palate. Very juicy and lively, with plenty of acidity, yet enough fruit to make it all work, this delicious Syrah should be enjoyed over the coming 4-6 years or so.
