Volatize This: Winter Weather Syrah

The weather turned crisp and positively cool this past weekend, so I went in for a meaty bottle of wine- Anthill Farms ’10 Syrah. Recommended to me by a number of my Somm pals, this wine did not disappoint. For under $20, it’s one’s a keeper- literally. You could stash this one in the closet for a few years to draw out even more complex notes but at this price, I just went ahead and pulled the cork .

Here’s what I got, (this one’s got a lot going on):

Made by three rockstar winemakers who met working together at Healdsburg’s Williams Selyem winery, these guys are churning out some great juice. A restaurant wine list darling, snap this one up if you see a bottle or get it here.

Drink With: Olive-Crusted Lamb or a Smoky BBQ

Party Tip: Break this out with your wintery dishes at your next fall dinner party or family gathering. It packs a subtle punch and is warm and cozy. Great with family-style meat and potatoes.
