When I want something vibrantly fruity I turn to Syrah, and this bargain-priced version is tasty. This deep purple wine offers fat flavors of black plums, black cherries, and boysenberries, with a good dose of black pepper, earth, and spice. It’s a good choice for a cheeseburger, flank steak with blue cheese, or slow-cooked ribs with a fruity barbecue sauce. It’s only $13.99 at BevMo!
