Tinhorn Creek Oldfield's Collection Syrah 2004
Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaThey only made three barrels of the OC 2004 Syrah, the first official vintage and one of those was blended into the OC merlot to increase its density and weight. Like most Okanagan syrah we encounter these young vine reds are usually riper and better tasting their cabernet or merlot kin. It was aged 14 months in new French oak - 42 cases were bottled by hand on May 17, 2006. I like the style, its syrah not shiraz if you know what I mean. Look for youthful, peppery, meaty, syrah fruit reminiscent of the Northern Rhone. No doubt this will improve every vintage out. I'm told this wine is long since sold out.Tasted: 23 September 2007Tasted by: Prices:| BC | $28.00 | 750ml | winery direct, vqa wine stores |
