The Prodigal Son
2005 Petite Syrah, Paso Robles
Big House Wines
Ripe, farm-stand berries; mellow tannins and relatively light body; a little bit of crisp finish. The Prodigal Son is a wonderful choice for a casual dinner (we had it with veggie pizza) or for sitting to enjoy a summer evening. The screw-cap makes this a great portable choice. Drink it down quickly, though. Some reds can hold up a few days after opening but this one tastes best right when opened.
Big House makes a range of wines, most of which are good for everyday drinking. Generally, they have been good but not outstanding. Drinking The Prodigal Son has been a surprisingly good experience and now I'm hoping to re-taste the whole line. For some extra fun check out the website. These guys enjoy life and make a point of bringing fun into every aspect of their wine.
