Occasions, tips, alternates, cocktails, food pairings, SJ's Rating, Feel.

SJ's Rating- Middle Shelf 

The first time I tried Mexican wine & did not get a good impression. Overpriced for the quality. Though this Syrah is drinkable, I did not like the feel of the wine and its taste. I would stick with cabernet sauvignon in the future. 

Occasion- Dinner with family

SJ's Pro tip- Great with food

Alternates- Encore 2017 Cabernet Sauvignon . Cheaper and much more enjoyable. 

Food Pairing- Italian food(Warm Salmon Carpaccio with pasta, Roman-style calamari, Grilled zucchini & eggplant, Roasted quail, Sicilian style salmon, dessert-chocolate piano)
