Synchromesh Wines Thorny Vines Riesling 2014
Naramata Bench, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaThis is one of a trio of single vineyard rieslings Synchromesh released from the 2014 vintage, each providing a singular snapshot of its origin. Thorny Vines Vineyard lies at the southern end of Naramata Bench, the cooler, north facing vineyard reflected in the racy acidity cutting through this juicy, youthful riesling. Lemon pith, bitter citrus, pear skin and green apple open the nose. The off-dry palate rings with chalky stoniness, wild herbs, lemon verve and ripe pear, with great intensity of fruit and a riff of pear skin lingering on the lengthy finish. Thorny Vines is a lazer beam of pithy acidity cushioned by ripe orchard pear and in an impressive 9.8 percent alcohol package.Tasted: 09 July 2015Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:| BC | $22.00 | 750ml | winery direct |
