Road 13 Jackpot Syrah 2013
Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaA huge, assertive and enticing nose of cracked pepper, roast meats and sage brush opens this full bodied syrah from Oliver's gloried Golden Mile. The densely fruited palate (black plums, wild blackberries, thorny cassis) is lifted with fresh acidity, bound with ripe, but structured tannins, and finishes with more of that peppery spice. Reminiscent of shepherd's pie in a glass, this wine would make a match for that hearty dish, or grilled lamb.Tasted: 30 April 2015Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:BC | $35.00 | 750ml | winery direct, vqa and private wine stores |
