2006 Spicerack Syrah ‘Punchdown’
- Share via
What a little beauty of a Syrah from Jonathan and Susan Pey of Spicerack Vineyards. Their “Punchdown” Syrah comes from two cool-climate sites on the Sonoma Coast. Rich and spicy with scents of cassis, black pepper and wild herbs, this is an elegant, moderately priced Syrah, a great buy for the price and a California Syrah that plays well with food.
Open a bottle for some grilled or sautéed calves’ liver, a pasta with chicken liver or gizzard sauce, some lamb chops or a simple roast chicken.
