Featured Recipe Pairing
Braised Lamb Shanks
Braised Lamb Shanks
There is probably no other cut of lamb that lends itself to slow cooking better than the shank. Carrots and onions add sweetness, while red wine contributes just the right amount of acidity to make the recipe the perfect pairing.

Additional Wine Information

Story
Working out of a bare-bones winery at the foot of California’s well-known Bien Nacido Vineyard, Bob Lindquist is America’s standardbearer for Syrahs that favor vibrancy and balance to sweetly ripe fruit. They are closer in spirit to the wines of France’s northern Rhone than to the dense, lush Shirazes of Australia’s Barossa Valley. The location of Lindquist’s winery is strategic: a majority of his wines come from Bien Nacido itself, a spectacular hillside vineyard located in the Santa Maria Valley, a subregion of the Central Coast. The valley lies on an unusual east-west axis, which allows for grapes to ripen on sunny slopes during the day, and for channels of ocean air to cool down the fruit at night. The result: juicy, aromatic reds like this one that pair beautifully with food.
Sense
Fragrant black pepper and dark fruit scents (blueberries, blackberries) reveal a hint of violet.
Savor
Dark berry and spice flavors capture Syrah’s energetic, savory side.
Serve
Pair the Qupe Syrah with pork, veal or red meat of any sort, especially lamb and game, whose earthiness will work well with the wine’s savoriness. Stews and hearty casseroles make excellent stick-to-your-ribs choices, while grilling will add a bitter char to meats that will help offset this young wine’s tannins. Try earthy accents like olives, lentils, mushrooms and root vegetables, or play to the wine’s fruit flavors with dried or stewed fruits or chutneys.

Serving Instructions
