Road 13 Syrah Malbec 2013

British Columbia, CanadaWow. Huge pepper, blue fruit and smoked sausage on the nose of this savoury syrah/malbec, blended with splashes of viognier and mourvedre for extra complexities. The structured palate carries concentrated blue and black fruits, fragrant violets, thorns and wild herbs, with fresh and brisk peppery acidity to carry. Tannins are smooth and fine and the finish is lengthy, trailing off with white pepper. An impressive, interesting, big dense wine that finishes with lively freshness.Tasted: 31 July 2015Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:
