The J. Lohr ten to twenty dollar value train keeps on chuggin’ along with the 2021 South Ridge Syrah. It offers solid varietal characteristics on the nose and the palate — black and blue fruit, umami, soft herb notes and a dash of orange zest. It’s got the supple house style tannin profile and good finish push. All that for fifteen bucks? C’mon! Contains 5% Grenache, 1% Mourvedre, 1% Viognier and 1% Roussanne.
