🏰The 2020 Anthill Farms Syrah Campbell Ranch is an 【absolutely amazing coastal Syrah】 from Sonoma Coast, known for its unique vineyard location near the Pacific Ocean, which ensures a cool climate and delayed ripening, contributing to its distinctive character. This Syrah offers a nose of smoke, bacon fat, cured meat, underripe plum, fresh blackberries, mushroom, and earthiness. On the palate, it's a juicy, savory explosion of black fruit (plum, black cherry, ripe strawberry) with a nice dark chocolate finish and a whisper of salinity. It boasts brilliant structure, acidity, and body, with medium tannins and some baking spice notes, making it one of the best Syrahs experienced by some reviewers. 🍴 This rich and intense Californian Syrah is a superb match for grilled foods, especially lamb, game (deer, venison), and grilled pork loin with a dry rub. It also pairs well with farm-style sausages, slow-braised pork, char-grilled steak or pork roast with black beans, and rustic dishes like French cassoulet or Greek moussaka. For cheeses, opt for harder, strong varieties like aged Dutch Gouda, Parmesan, or aged goat cheese. 🥂 Perfect for a hearty dinner with friends, a barbecue, or a cozy evening by the fireplace. Its robust flavors and excellent structure make it a fantastic companion for rich, flavorful meals, and it's also enjoyable for a casual gathering.
