Alain Graillot produces what may be year in and year out the greatest value in the Rhône: his Crozes Hermitage. Another relatively uncelebrated appellation, Crozes Hermitage has always been thought of Hermitage’s little brother, you know, the one with weak ankles and a penchant for dropping balls. You might even call it the Rodney Dangerfield of the Rhône and with fair reason, a lot of Crozes has been thoroughly unremarkable.
Graillot on the other hand always delivers. Rich and slightly rustic with a tart, slightly lean nature, these are full of olive oily herbs and stem notes, backed up by ripe red fruit. It’s a wine that harks back to an earlier time, before early accessibility and fruit weight were things that winemakers worked towards. Be patient with Graillot and you’ll be rewarded with a pure yet firm expression of Syrah that has almost become exotic in light of today’s wines.
Paging Mena Suvari, this Graillot’s for you!

Columella is fantastic, but always sold way too young.

you need to try one of the best Syrahs I've ever had. A California wine by Smith-wooten I believe. Great balance and elegant power.

Of course enjoyed the comments about the wine but finishing them off with the ladies was fun, I particularly like the reference to Salma Hayek.

What about argentina syrah like Luigi Bosca Reserva 2008?

Do not forget about Novy Family Wines/Siduri - fantastic, highly scored, well priced Syrahs, generally in smaller lots (less than 1000 cases per bottling) with many bottlings to choose from.

Chile is now producing some very fine Syrah as well. Quantities are limited, but they are very much worth seeking out. Try Matetic which is super smooth and very tasty. Great balalnce.

Have had stylish shiraz from Margaret River and not that far away, Bests Great Western and Sandalford in SW corner of Oz.
I agree with the plaudits for guigal. great Cotes Du Rhone year after year
New zealand shiraz - they call it syrah - is a gentler, food friendly variant that gets overlooked in these discussions
Sicily has also had success with shiraz. Planeta Syrah worked for me. Petite Syrah from north Mexico/baja california is nice wine (LA Cetto)

My special favorite, Syrah 2007 Planeta Sicilia igt ****♥ Rich, with a bouquet of ripe red berries and black olives with lovely accents of sweet spices and vanilla. Round, fruity and flavourful full body with well integrated tannins. A vibrant wine with a spicy finish.

Baffetto de Roma you have excellent taste indeed and all these people should try Planeta Syrah

I will be trying some Chilean Syrah soon, so look out for notes on those. And I've got notes on several New Zealand bottlings as well, which are being pulled together today! The Planeta is a fine wine, I've had it a handful of times, which is too few to include it in this list of my favorites but I'm glad you broguht it up!
Thanks for all the great comments folks!
