Synchromesh Tertre Rouge 2012
Naramata Bench, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaA 50/50 blend of cabernet franc/merlot from Turtle Rock Farms tucked above Naramata Road halfway between Penticton and Naramata Village. Heady perfumed, black plum is the gateway to a meaty undergrowth of black thorns, dense cassis, tobacco and compact black florals wrapped around a muscular, brooding frame. Silky black cocoa-clad tannins aptly hold the whole until a warm glow on the finish. While this is in a great place for drinking now (decant) with roast beef or lamb chops, it will hold in your cellar for another few years easy.Tasted: 07 October 2016Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:BC | $50.00 | 750ml | winery direct, private wine shops |
