Laughing Stock Vineyards Syrah +11/10 2016
Osoyoos, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaAlways consistent, the 2016 LS syrah is something special. The fruit is all out of the Perfect Hedge vineyard in Osoyoos, and the style, they say, “is inspired by Côte Rôtie in Northern Rhone.” The blend is 95/5 syrah/viognier although you doesn’t feel much of the viognier in 2016. Some 22 percent is fermented and aged in French oak puncheons adding lush, silky tones to this boisterous red. Look for ripe blueberry, Bing cherry and black raspberry with a dusting of white pepper and minerals. This needs a decade of cellaring to reach perfection, but don’t worry, there is plenty of fruit for the journey.Tasted: 10 September 2018Tasted by: Prices:| BC | $36.00 | 750ml | winery direct |
