Road 13 Merlot Syrah Low Yield Wines 2011
Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaThe cooler 2011 vintage sets the tone for this 68/32 merlot syrah blend harvested across the valley on the Black Sage Bench. Look for meaty (syrah) savory (merlot) aromas laced with sage, prune sand a touch of French oak. The attack is soft, the palate cool and earthy with rich blacker fruits and some expresso beans. Dry but firm this still needs another 18 months to balance out. An odd mix fruit that delivers. Fire up the barbecue and grill some lamb.Tasted: 24 December 2015Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:BC | $45.00 | 750ml | winery direct and private wine shops |
