Wine Review: "This dark, ripe and unctuous Syrah displays earthy aromas with flavors of chocolate and cherries. The wine finishes with silky tannins and would make a great pairing for short ribs.” - Bob Bertheau
My Review: The Chateau Ste Michelle Syrah was a gorgeously deep, ruby color. On the nose there was dark chocolate, pomegranate juice, blueberries, and a somewhat oaky aroma. There was licorice, blackberry jam, and a smokey feel on the tongue with a grippy mid-palate. I was also getting a little bit of heat from this red, but after a few more swirls it was not as prominent. This had well-balanced tannins and complemented the beef stew that I had with it very nicely. I would not mind also trying this with a cherry or raspberry-filled dark chocolate candy.
