fruit. Enjoy this delicious quaffer with grilled steaks, hamburgers, pasta with meat sauce or gourmet sausages.
My first meal consisted of slow cooked meat balls in a tomato sauce with potatoes. The wine was spicy, powerful, and mouth filling. It was tannic, but in a pleasant sense.
The next meal was whole wheat pasta with spicy meat sauce. The Syrah was both powerful and round. I tasted pepper and black fruit.
The final meal involved store bought cold barbecued spare ribs with potato salad and roasted red pepper in garlic and oil. (I can't help it; that's the kind of food I savor, even more so with wines like this one.) The meat's congealed fat and thick tomato sauce made it very tasty. The wine cut the fat very well. It was very round and full, brimming with black cherries. The roasted red pepper brought out a tobacco taste in the wine.
My first cheese pairing was with a French Camembert. This cheese really seemed to dilute the Syrah. While it was still good, it wasn't as good as when it stood alone. The next cheese was a nutty tasting Swiss Gruyere. It seemed to flatten the wine, reducing its flavor peaks. The final cheese was a soft German Edam. The final combination was the best of them all. The wine was almost as good with the buttery Edam as it was on its own. Final verdict. I like this wine and expect to buy it again. But I won't bother much with cheese pairing.
