RR_Best_Syrah
This Cult Napa Valley Producer Just Shocked the Industry by Selling to the World’s Largest WineryLike many of us, Syrah has extravagant taste when it comes to real estate, as it is said that this grape variety loves hilltops and water views. A sun worshiper, Syrah also prefers hot climates where higher altitudes and sea or river breezes offer lower nighttime temperatures that help maintain acidity and freshness.
Although its moniker hints at an exotic past , DNA analysis and parentage point to an origin in France, most likely the Rhône Valley. Here it is the main grape in the wines of Hermitage, Côte-Rôtie, Cornas, and St.-Joseph in the northern Rhône. France has the largest amount of Syrah vines of any country on the planet; the grape is now widely planted throughout both the northern and southern Rhône and Languedoc-Roussillon.
Wherever it hails from and whatever it’s called, Syrah is a great match with flame-kissed steak, especially skirt steak with chimichurri or hanger steak with Provençal sauce. New World Syrah’s bold acidity makes it a good match for foods that have touches of sweetness and spice. Try it with Chinese takeout, in particular spareribs, pepper steak, and spicy sesame noodles.
The orphaned Booker brothers, Dick and Claude, purchased over 1,200 acres of land in Paso Robles and were known in their time as great humanitarians. When they died, they donated their entire estate to charity. Lisa and Eric Jensen purchased 100 acres in 2001 and named their winery Booker Vineyard in homage to these two exceptional men. Booker Vineyard Fracture, considered their flagship wine, is made from 100 percent Syrah.
