Qupé Syrah 2009 (about $17)



About the Wine:  Syrah has largely fallen by the wayside as its more popular cousin, Australian Shiraz, has dominated the market.  The two grapes are similar but Syrah is grown in a variety of places and thus has a greater variety of tastes.

About THIS Wine:  The center is garnet and fades to a pink rim.  Jammy black cherry blends with hints of clove and green pepper for a pleasant, complex nose.  Red fruit is dominant on the palate with a hint of pepper in the background, leading into a finish that is both fruity and dry.

Drinking This Wine:  Probably best with sweet meats, it could also make a good sipper.

Overall Impression:  This is a very nice wine.  I would say that it is reasonable for the price.
