Nichol Vineyard Syrah 2006
Naramata Bench, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaCoffee, leather, meaty, peppery, tobacco, spicy, floral nose. Dry, slightly lean entry with light tannins. Earthy, black cherry, savoury, coffee, tobacco, dried herb flavours. Finish is quite tart and somewhat tannic. Needs food to soften the palate. Lacks a bit of heft and finesse that would get it to the next level.Tasted: 17 May 2010Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:BC | $30.00 | 750ml | winery direct |
