Haywire Lunar New Year Red 2012
Oliver, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaHaywire’s annual release celebrates the Lunar New Year or in the case of 2015 – The Year of the Sheep. The mix is an odd combination of mostly gamay with a touch of syrah – a juicy, spicy affair with a dollop of sugar bound to keep its Asian audience happy. Look for a mix of cherry and strawberry notes on the nose and palate with an earthy peppery undercurrent. I tried it with a chicken hot pot and it worked.Tasted: 17 February 2015Tasted by: Prices:BC | $23.00 | 750ml | winery direct, private wine shops |
