Synchromesh Tertre Rouge 2013
Naramata Bench, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaA 66/34 mix of cabernet franc/merlot from Turtle Rock Farms, tucked above Naramata Road halfway between Penticton and Naramata Village. Fragrant perfumed, black plum nose with light meaty cassis and tobacco. The attack is elegant with more peppery, dense black fruit keeping the 21 months in 33 percent new oak at bay. The wine then spends another 24 months in bottle to settle into itself. When it makes sense, winemaker Dickinson will turn out a single varietal wine form this site, otherwise the blend is a better early drinking option.
