From California; produced by D. Sebastiani & Sons

Deep ruby red in color

Big and fruity (red cherries, red plums, raspberries) scents coupled with some pepper & vanilla (hello, French Oak)

Suprisingly less fruity than I expected in the mouth. It's simple and bold, yes. However, this Syrah offers a zip of spice along with a *kerwang* of tannin, which allows it to be less-than-hostile towards food

Try it with barbecued ribs, pizza, and/or tomato sauce-based pasta dishes
