2023 Auguste Clape Vin des Amis Rouge

From: Rhone, FranceVarietal: Syrah Tasting Notes: Our love for Auguste Clape knows no limits, and this savory and spicy Northern Rhone Syrah at a super affordable price point is no exception. Fruit comes from vineyards just outside Cornas, from vines up to 40 years old. Earthy spices dominate this peppery wine, which exudes finesse with high-toned flavors of cracked black pepper, violets, smoked meats, and red fruit. Pairing: Take inspiration from the region and pair this with lamb dishes that incorporate Mediterranean herbs. Some of our favorite lamb dishes include lamb and fig skewers with honey and rosemary, grilled lamb on rosemary skewers (check it out below), lamb and scallions, simple lamb curry (go light on the spice, please), grilled lamb chops, and lamb burgers! Are you crunched for time? Go the gyro route and pick up some awesome gyros, shawarma, or grilled eggplant from your favorite take-out joint.
