Type: Dry red.
Made With: Syrah.
Plays Well With: Meat, meat, meat and more meat.
Look at the deep red color of this wine – it even looks rich. The nose is full of berries. And you can catch some of that same fruit in the flavor, even though it’s dry. Bone dry. As in no sweetness.
Add to that flavor some earthiness and you’ve got a wine that is made for something deep and hearty, like a slow-cooked beef brisket without the sweet sauce. Or a pile of garlic-stuffed olives, some good bread and butter and a trashy murder mystery.
