Laughing Stock Vineyards Syrah+7/10 2010
Naramata Bench, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaThe fruit is grown in Osoyoos and the wine is made by co-fermenting a small amount of viognier with the syrah in large casks and tanks. The viognier adds some floral mineral notes and tends to open up the syrah allowing it to fully express its potential in the bottle. Look for a rich, smooth, fresh palate with blackberry jam, menthol, ginger, pepper, sausage meat, vanilla, coffee, clove, curry flavours. The style is big and bold and will need a piece of lamb or two to five more years in bottle.Tasted: 09 October 2012Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:BC | $34.00 | 750ml | winery direct |
