I very much agree with your read of the current situation for California Syrah in today's marketplace, but wanted to add...that American consumers on average seem to love good Syrah when exposed to it, yet sales don't support that. The main disconnect seems to be in the average prices of California Syrah... Syrah as a varietal is still an "experimental"for most - one that has yet to attain the stature in most people's minds of Cabernet or Pinot Noir - hence the consumer does not seem willing to pay anywhere near per bottle what most California producers are charging. Syrah does not have the whole hearted support of wine buyers and sommeliers and until we see that happen broadly, the majority of the wine drinking public will not have the needed exposure to help propell Syrah to the next level....not yet anyway.
