Hester Creek Syrah Viognier 2013

Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaFragrant violets and cracked pepper open this expressive blend, a new direction for the winery (as well as a brand new label). The full, ripe palate carries sweet, smoked berry fruit, violets toasty oak, smoke and hickory, with the smoky wood dominating all other notes by the finish. A shame, because there is promising, generous fruit hidden underneath all the toasted wood.Tasted: 24 September 2015Tasted by: Prices:
