Love the comment! I honestly think California's most interesting wines being produced now are Syrah's. Crazy good stuff there made by the newer generations.

Agreed on Cabernet Sauvignon. Regarding Pinot Noir, there's just nothing in the US that compares to a good Burgundy, some things I think are interesting are Domaine De La Cote in California and Kelley Fox in Oregon though :)

Try wines from Paso when you can. They are available at the sub-25 price point at most places that sell wine (warehouse, grocery, et al), and you might appreciate the GSM and Syrahs from Paso. Same story in Washington; the strong heat in the growing areas leads to great tannic structure and complexity.

Cheers!

I agree, try Pax Syrah if you get a chance, it is the best one I have tasted:

I like Pax, if you can try the Syrah's from Jolie Laide... the Halcon Vineyard one is among the best Syrah I've tried in the US :)
