Black Hills Syrah 2015

Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaPerfumed violets float atop a base of bacon fat, blueberries, lavender and cured meats in this full-bodied southern Okanagan syrah. Ample black peppercorns crackle throughout, as does a beam of freshness before ample spicy grainy wood kicks in. This is intense, concentrated and warm but with a spirited lift that works hard to counter the density. Best with a peppercorn steak and a splash decant now, or cellar for two to three years.Tasted: 19 November 2017Tasted by: Treve Ring & Anthony GismondiPrices:
