Painted Rock Syrah 2015

Skaha Bench, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaA reductive swing opens this youthful syrah from Skaha Bench, one followed quickly thereafter by roasted meats. A decant or opening a day in advance (or, theoretically a few years' cellaring), erases the reduction and yields black pepper, anise, thorns, ripe cassis, dried violets and caramelized onions, fast and potently on the fuller palate. A thread of acidity stays this aloft, and downy/tacky tannins hem this in to a warming finish. At this youthful stage, lamb or beef is required.Tasted: 25 January 2018Tasted by: Prices:
