I am making a new recipe and wondering about pairing this one with so much rosemary in it. Currently marinating antelope roast in red wines (leftovers of zin/syrah blended), rosemary and garlic. Then it will be slow-cooked with carrots, celery, onion, cumin, fresh rosemary and bay leaves. I most likely will serve with mashed potatoes but also considering dumplings or serving with biscuits or skillet bread. SO I need help deciding between one of these wines: 1999 Clos de l'Oratoire des Papes Châteauneuf-du-Pape 1997 Château Larose-Trintaudons 1998 Château Rouget 1999 or 2001 Chateau Ste. Michelle Syrah Reserve 2002 Landmark Syrah Steel Plow or maybe 2004 Marquis Philips Sarah's Blend trying to clear the cellar too

My vote would go for the 1999 Clos de l'Oratoire des Papes Châteauneuf-du-Pape or the 2002 Landmark Syrah Steel Plow. Two different ends of the spectrum but they may both work. The more I'm looking at it I'm leaning more towards the 02.

I'd lean HEAVILY toward the CdP. That sounds delicious, btw.
