Andrew Murray, Central Coast (United States) Syrah 2009

 If “Tous les Jours” suggests that this is a wine to be consumed every day    I don’t think I’m up to the task.  It’s unarguably a lush and tasty, but a normal palate such as mine might be soon exhausted after daily infusions of such densely flavored, opulently textured red wine.  But when there’s beef on the menu, or lamb, or even certain pork preparations–spareribs, say–count me in.  And the everyday price ($16) is certainly alluring as well.
