2008 Le Campuget Syrah Viognier
Chateau de Campuget has been turning out price performers for the past decade. This one is no exception. It follows the current "red/white blend trend" and is stellar. Sometimes adding a white wine just makes for watery, ambivalent wine, but not so with this bottle. The Viognier softens the Syrah (which, let's be honest, can overwhelm a lot of lighter fare), yet adds complexity. It wouldn't be as good with salmon, but it'd otherwise be a great--and much lower cost--alternative to Pinot Noir.
