Pairing Suggestions: This Syrah’s bold character and peppery spice make it a natural companion to rich, slow-cooked dishes and smoky flavors from the grill. Try it with braised short ribs over creamy polenta, grilled lamb with rosemary and garlic, or a blue cheese burger with caramelized onions. It also shines alongside roasted portobello mushrooms, hearty beef stew, or a square of dark chocolate by the fire. For a truly comforting pairing, pour a glass with cocoa-rubbed brisket or smoked sausage and savor how the wine’s dark fruit and spice complement every bite.
