Mission Hill S.L.C. Syrah 2011
Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaOpen inviting boysenberry, black pepper, floral, meaty, liquorice nose with smoky herb and light vanilla aromas. Dry, fresh, elegant entry, if somewhat light bodied with some easy-sipping tannins. Juicy berry, vanilla, coffee, cedar, tobacco, meaty, peppery, liquorice and cedar flavours with a tobacco, smoky, leather finish. Good finesse but somewhat lacking in concentration. Should improve over the next 2-3 years as it balances. Food friendly.Tasted: 09 May 2014Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:BC | $30.00 | 750ml | winery direct, Mark Anthony stores |
