If Sade were a Syrah. Be a smooth operator this Valentine’s Day by picking up a bottle of this love worthy wine from Famille Boyer. 

Everything about this French Syrah from Costières de Nîmes in the Rhône Valley exemplifies love, love of the land, love of wine, love of humanity and the undeniable love of Syrah. 

Nothing can come between you and your Valentine when sipping on this unctuous Syrah.  Let the pearls of this plush wine fill your glass while you hang on to your love. 

Seductive aromas of black cherry, ripe blackberry and violets, gently laced with cracked pepper and a hint of dark cocoa. On the palate, it’s plush and embracing—silky tannins gently caressing flavors of juicy plum, savory olive tapenade, and warm spice, unfolding slowly like a love letter read twice.

There’s a quiet intensity here: passionate but never overpowering, balanced by freshness and a lingering, velvety finish that stays close, long after the last sip. 

Enjoy this wine over a lingering dinner, paired with herb-crusted lamb chops, peppercorn steak, or duck breast. Wild mushroom risotto, truffle pasta, or lentil dishes with rosemary and thyme highlight its savory side beautifully.  Enjoy this wine in front of a cozy fire listening to Sade’s Greatest Hits and your love will be king. Have a Happy Valentine’s Day!
