Benguela Cove “Backbone” Syrah 2020, Walker Bay, South Africa

Backbone Syrah displays excellent varietal typicity.  You will find scents of ripe mulberries and plum accompanied by black pepper and a hint of smoke.  It offers a medium body with a balancing acidity.  Stylistically, this Syrah is not too dense or jammy due to Walker Bay’s cool maritime influence. Backbone Syrah is especially tasty with the Ewephoria Gouda, as well as barbecue, grilled sausages, and steak or mushrooms with a black  pepper sauce. 

$15.99

Vibrant and intense, Backbone is made in a tasty and extroverted style that fans of New Zealand Sauvignon Blancs will enjoy.  It jumps from the glass offering white grapefruit, fresh cut grass, and guava. A mouthwatering acidity lingers on the finish.  Serve this alongside mild Thai green curry chicken, a green salad with avocado and roasted red peppers, fish tacos, and goat or feta cheeses.
