Austin Hope Syrah

"The 2012 Syrah Austin Hope is 100% Syrah and offers the pretty, lively and pure style of the vintage. Sweet red and blackberry fruits, spring flowers, mint and creamy licorice come together nicely, and it's medium to full-bodied, silky and polished on the palate."

Syrah pairs nicely with barbecued foods, grilled foods, dark meats, strong game, hearty ripe cheeses and lamb - hearty foods. It also goes well with Indian, Mexican, and other spicy foods.
