WineAccess Tasting - Wednesday, July 9th

A wine list by Haig Didizian, Resident Geek, WineAccess.com
What a perk - I get to knock off a bit early about once a week to taste some wines. Here's what we're tasting this evening.

Something's not right here. The flavor reminds me of the dentist's office. The flouride treatments, maybe? Yikes.

After my first few whifs, I expected a lot more. The flavor fell flat, with very limited fruit.

Everyone else at the table is giving 5s. I think my palate just ain't sophistocated enough. It's really pleasant, but I'm not going nuts. (Update - I brought it home and tasted it again. I still think this bottle is seriously overpriced.)

They tell me it's green, and apparently that has nothing to do with its carbon footprint.

2005 Murphy Vineyards Syrah Sierra Foothills

Fairly sweet and pleasant. Depending on the price, I could definitely see serving this when we have people over for dinner. I'm calling it a crowd pleaser.
