Sandhill Small Lots Program Syrah Phantom Creek Vineyard 2006
Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaAfter some wavering in the last vintage the '06 Phantom Creek Syrah is back on track with its rich savoury, roasted pepper, black cherry nose flecked with vanilla, tobacco and sage aromas. It has a ripe, round, supple, forward style with cool black cherry, tobacco, savoury flavours with bits of vanilla, liquorice and sausage meat. Very fine, cool-style syrah with just a bit of heat on the finish. Finest effort from here to date and well done.Tasted: 25 September 2008Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:BC | $35.00 | 750ml | winery, private wine shops |
