Best Syrah Wine Under $20

From winemaker Adam Mettler, this opaque purple-colored 2012 exhibits gorgeous aromas of camphor, blueberries, blackberries, licorice, toast and subtle background smoke.

This wine epitomizes what should always be the essence of a true wine. One of the two properties from which grapes are sourced is owned by a childhood friend and the other belongs to my cousins. We have been working together on this wine for 15 years now. Trust and friendship form its basis. The blend of Syrah from Vinsobres with Syrah from Villafranchian terraces in Gard always produces wonderful balance, fleshiness and finesse. You may get to know the 2015 vintage through this wine – the oxblood color, the depth, sappy character and wonderful round tannins for instance. You can easily sense the intensity with which fruit was imbued in 2015, a truly superb vintage. Successfully ripened grapes combined with freshness and our Syrah vines loved a hot July in 2015. This is exemplified in the magnificent wines produced in 2015 in the northern Rhone valley. The whole point of our Côtes du Rhône is to offer an early drinking wine that also has very good aging capacity. I recently tasted the 2007 again which was really complex and still young. Welcome to 2015, the finest vintage since 2010. Blackcurrant, camphor, truffle, rose and blueberry.

Our Bota Box Shiraz is a medium bodied, succulent wine offering complex aromas of blackberry, plum and white pepper.

Boom Boom! Syrah Red Wine is a mouth filling, rich and totally satisfying red wine blend. Explosive aromas of blackberry, boysenberry, white pepper and savory herbs dance on the nose. Its complexity and tannins are inferior to none. This red blend contains a strong helping of syrah, with a supporting cast of viognier and grenache wine grapes sourced from the Washington State winegrowing region using sustainable wine practices. This appellation is the second-largest premium wine producer in the United States and continues to grow in popularity thanks to its unique characteristics. A glass of this spicy syrah wine pairs well with lamb cutlets, slow-roasted pork tenderloin, saucy barbecue ribs or lamb meatballs. Store this bottle of wine at room temperature. When you're ready to pour a glass, make sure to refrigerate for about 30 to 60 minutes beforehand. Serve cool for optimal taste.

Venta La Ossa Syrah 2009 was crafted by the Mano a Mano winery in Castilla from the single varietal Syrah grapes which this winery cultivated themselves from their own special Syrah grapevines. These are old grapevines are situated in dry soils and this micro-climate receives very little rainfall. In the winters these grapevines are sometimes exposed to frost and in the summers there are scorching winds. The soils of this unique terroir are sandy and underneath a bed of gravel, iron, clay and limestone. These grapevines have small yields that do not exceed 4.5 pounds (2 kg) per grapevines. Despite the low yields these are very high quality grapes. After a selective harvest the grapes are transferred to the winery for an additional selection process at the Mano a Mano winery´s selection tables. The selected grapes are then temperature treated in chambers before they are destemmed and processed through a pre-fermentation cold maceration for 12 days. Subsequently, these grapes receive an alcoholic fermentation at temperatures between 68-77 ºF (20 and 25 ºC) for 16 days with smooth rotations being performed throughout this fermentation process. This wine was then transferred into French oak barrels from Allier where it received malolactic fermentation and was aged for 12 months. This wine was clarified with egg whites before being bottled. The Mano a Mano winery is well-known for its original labels, such as the one presented on this thick Bordeaux bottle and this wine has an all natural cork.

Suitable for vegans from a Carbon Neutral and Sustainable winery. Blackberry, raspberry and rich mocha aromas are interlaced with subtle aniseed and vanilla tones. The use of both French and American oak creates layers of flavours, with the latter contributing sweeter vanilla characters that fill the midpalate. The palate has great weight and depth due to layers of fruit tannins, oak combinations and sheer flavour intensity.

Rich, with elegant and supple tannins; this Rhone inspired wine is a lovely blend of cool-climate spicy Shiraz combined with mild climate full-bodied Shiraz finely tempered by the savoury tannins of Mourvedre.

Great to drink young, however time will reward those with patience...
