Hey Washington Syrah Makers... Here is a line from the SF Chronicle Story you should REALLY heed: "The only concern is price; many seem to have notched up. It's the wrong direction at a time when Syrah is in the doldrums." I have historically been a fan but have quit buying as the prices of some of my favorites have gotten rediculous.
