Hillside Syrah 2015
Naramata Bench, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaThe 2015 Hillside Syrah, from Hidden Valley Vineyard in Naramata, expresses attractive black raspberry and cinnamon spiked with a touch of espresso. There is an elegance in this warm year, ripening the fruit but only yielding 13 percent alcohol. There is seven percent viognier in the mix to add some floral tones to this red that spends nine months in used and new (26 percent) French oak barrels. Blanced, silky and supple, it is a perfect accompaniment to grilled lamb, sausages and powerful cheeses.Tasted: 10 September 2018Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:BC | $26.00 | 750ml | winery direct, private wine shops |
