Orofino Syrah Scout Vineyard 2012

Similkameen Valley, British Columbia, CanadaPruny, earthy, resin, smoky, black berry, tobacco, leather nose with black pepper and herb aromas. Dry, warm, fresh, somewhat hard palate with some youthful tannins. Coffee, black berry, peppery, meaty, vanilla, tobacco, savoury, pruny flavours. Youthful and exuberant and maybe a bit overripe but this needs time to settle in. Give it five years and be prepared to serve it with a big piece of beef or lamb to tame its wild side.Tasted: 09 April 2015Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:
