This is a classy Syrah for the price, with plenty of bright red and black fruit flavors enhanced by a touch of earthiness and notes of vanilla. Because it leans more towards refinement than ostentation, it is a red wine that’s compatible with a range of different foods, from burgers to kabobs, pizzas to pastas, and it’s mighty good with a BLT sandwich too.
