If a dream can come in a bottle, it might come in the form of a magnificent syrah. Drinking the entire bottle between two people, it sure felt like a dream, especially on a somewhat empty stomach. Wait, maybe that was the alcohol content weaving it's mysterious magic, which we all know too well.
I am big on syrahs. Which also means that I am picky as hell on them. This one passed the tests with flying colors. Let me introduce you to Mi Sueño Winery, Syrah 2004.
A superb effort. If you don't like the sweetness of wines or think they are a girly drink, I implore you to take a second look at them and try this monster of a red wine. Deep rich flavors of tobacco, leather and earth permeate the body of this wine. The typical fruit and jammy tastes are there too for you out there who are worried this will be too pungent of a wine. It's not. Wonderful. You can drink this beast with your favorite hamburger, rack of lamb, favorite gamey meat or even barbecued tempeh.
Give yourself a treat. I know you can use one; we all can. Go support your local wine shop and buy a bottle of this gem or have them order one for you. A new batch of 2004 was just released, after selling out completely. You will not regret the experience this bottle will give you.
