Many wine critics believe that the new Syrah Cabernet hybrid will be irresistible to the American taste in wine and will quickly become the next big thing within the wine culture.
The interesting thing about Syrah Cabernet is its components and the way that they mysteriously mix together to create an entirely new taste. Cabernet Sauvignon has been one of the most popular red wines since it was brought to United States over 100 years ago. Syrah has traditionally been an incredibly unpopular wine within the country and there were fewer than 1,000 acres planted in the country no less than twenty years ago. The return of Syrah blended with the classically popular appeal of Cabernet Sauvignon has opened many doors in the wine community as many individuals are enjoying the bold and inventive new flavor of wine. The different elements of the wine have caught the attention of wine lovers who enjoy a diverse palette and are curious about exotic wines that might not necessarily be popular within the country.
As mentioned earlier, the Syrah Cabernet offers a wide variety of elements including tobacco, cocoa, coffee, nutmeg, and many others. Each step of the wine tasting process is a different experiences and the complexity of the wine as well as its uniqueness really shines through. Subtle at times and bold at others, the wine perfectly blends the classic appeal of the Cabernet with the bold and sometimes harsh bite of Syrah to create a wine that might take some getting used to, but will likely have wine enthusiasts hooked after only a few tastes. Defined by the fruit that the wine is named after, the Syrah defines the wine despite the fact that it comprises only about a third of the wine. It is the edgy nature of this fruit that will capture the attention of wine tasters and make heads turn.
Perfect with any dish that calls for a deep and flavorful red wine including poultry and pasta, the Syrah Cabernet is purple-black in color, full flavored, and able to age gracefully. Although it is increasing in popularity, there are still only a few companies who partake in the manufacturing of Syrah Cabernet; all of which reside in the Napa Valley region of California. It might be a little while before the wine makes it much further out of the region and further across the country, but many believe that the unique and rich taste of the wine will allow it to spread throughout the entire country.
Brilliantly crafted and one of the most unique wines to emerge from Napa Valley in recent years, the brand new idea of the combination of Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon has caused quite the stir in the wine community. If you are lucky enough to be able to get your hands on a bottle of Syrah Cabernet, you are in for a flavorful wine unlike any you’ve ever tasted.
