Wine and Bacon???

My new favorite tasting note in wine is bacon.  I have had two different wines in the last two weeks describing bacon and I love it!!  Dante Robino Syrah 2009 is the better example of the two.  Wines coming out of  Mendoza in the last couple years have shown excellent potential.  Vines in the area are typically grown in sand, instead of clay.  Malbec is the typical grape coming out of Mendoza but this Syrah is bangin'!  Made from 100% Syrah, this wine is a deep, intense red, with fruit and spice notes, and a smooth finish.  The bacon note comes from the finish, more from the mouth feel.  Think bacon fat on your tongue.  A delicious food wine or enjoyed sipping with friends.  A definite conversation piece!
