Great stuff for German-US crossover cuisine: The 2007 Cuvaison Syrah
Deep, dark cherry red with some light rims. Intensive aromas of dark chocolate paired with blackberries. A hint of bacon and also some leather tones in the background. The blackberry aromas are also present on the palate with a little bit bitter, astringent finish. But this is gone after a certain while. Then the fruit tones dominate.
This lighter Syrah is a classical partner for lamb. Usually. We opened the bottle the day after Christmas as a partner for a classical German “Brotzeit“ with North Hessian cervelatwurst, camembert and brown bread. Especially with the cervelatwurst the wine was extremely good. The spicy tones of this North Hessian speciality were wonderfully punctuated. The wine itself changed its style suddenly to a smoother, more engaging direction. Incredibly good crossover cuisine.
The wine is on the top now. Don't wait any longer.
