Winery:   "Youthful with brilliant shades of violet, aromas of plum, cherry, vanilla and tobacco with a touch of spice and oak.  Rich and smooth with a balanced and lingering finish."

Wired For Wine:  The Los Ailos Syrah Malbec blend weaves an appetizing combination of Syrah's spice and oak with the plum and cherry of the Malbec influence to deliver an incredible value in this Argentinian red.  Pair it with sweet barbecue dishes and grilled meats, sausage and even tuna.  While you're contemplating the possibilities, luxuriate in a glass with a sturdy Pecorino cheese and some black olives.  After you've whet your appetites, we suggest roast duck with sausage and lentils.  To play up hints of spice and oak, a great choice is Korean short ribs wtih sesame oil, soy sauce, onions and garlic.  Delicioso.  This smooth red works well with rich pastas too.  We love it with pappardelle served with a tomato-based lamb ragout.  If you're in the mood for something simple, the Los Ailos is perfect with a mushroom or sausage pizza, or one with both!  That Pecorino will do just as good a job wrapping up the meal as it will starting it...  Caramba!
