This was my favorite wine of the night. It was paired with dry baby back ribs. The menu said it was accompanied by a slaw, which was not served. There was no fat on the ribs, and for such a rich wine as this Syrah, you need a bit of fat.
The wine had the characteristic Rhone stinky inky baby diaper scent, followed by roasted plums and blackberry on the palate. Randall called it an "anomalous new world wine that captures the life force". I should have taken better notes, as he rambled on about the wine and the process.
It is definitely a new world wine, but made in an old world style that you don't find in Central Coast Syrahs.
The price was right, and I bought five cases for BONDA to serve by the glass.
