Qupe's 1993 Central Coast Syrah is not one of those blockbuster, inky-colored, thick monsters, but rather, a wine that tastes like it came from a cool climate. It possesses ripe, sweet cherry/cassis flavors that are authentically varietal. Medium-bodied, soft, and elegant, this wine comes across a supple style of Syrah, vaguely reminiscent of some St.-Josephs from the Rhone Valley. Drink it over the next 3-4 years. Tel. (805) 688-2477
