Black Hills Syrah 2016
Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaThe 2016 growing season got off to a great start under record heat, but eventually, temperatures subsided, and the season lengthened to the advantage of the syrah. Less bacon fat and white pepper is the story in 2016, making this wine more fun to drink for syrah aficionados. Floral, with black and blue fruits, the soft, supple tannin carries the flavours on a long ride to the back of the palate. It is more hedonistic than complex; there is an acidic twang on the back end than needs to be fully integrated into the wine with three to five more years of bottle age. Love the 13.9 percent alcohol that doesn’t dominate the wine.Tasted: 10 September 2018Tasted by: Prices:| BC | $39.90 | 750ml | winery direct and private wine shops |
