Dinner & Syrah

Looking for that flavorful combination with a pairing of wine and food for a special fall dinner?  Mira Winery’s 2009 “Hyde” Syrah has many complimentary dishes that are perfect for a chilly night with a toasty fire and warm company.

Pairing wine with a hearty dish can be a challenge.  When it is done just right the combination of favors can tie perfectly together.  Syrah has wonderful flavors of boysenberry, roasted game and fig followed by waves of cocoa, lavender, and tar.  A rich wine such as this pairs well with strong cheeses, flavorful meats and dark greens.

Our Syrah has been aged 18 months in 100% French oak barrels.  This oaked wine makes a wonderful combination with the sweet flavors of minted lamb served over sautéed spinach.  Syrah is intense, concentrated and pure, but its notably balanced flavors compliment dark greens with rich meat while not being overwhelming.  If you have a special dinner party, this may be a delectable meal for you and your guests.
