Nichol Vineyard St. Laurent 2016

Naramata Bench, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaThis is my first time trying Nichol's st. laurent solo, my usual familiarity with it in the popular Nine Mile Red blend. Turns out they made a little solo st. in 2012 as well. Bright, lifted, fresh, sapid, and tight, with wild blackberry, thorns, crunchy acids and fine tannins. Rinsed with white pepper and a wash of stony salts, this lighter red finishes with a lick of blue florals. Interesting fresh red ready to add into your drinking lexicon.Tasted: 27 September 2018Tasted by: Prices:
