Road 13 Syrah Malbec 2016
British Columbia, CanadaThe grippy, pepperiness, of this syrah is tempered with the fruity lushness and blue lift of malbec. This year's vintage is also seasoned with 11.5 percent petit verdot, and 2 percent viognier, primarily sourced from Similkameen's Blind Creek Vineyard, with a smaller fraction from their estate Okanagan vineyards. Sweet blueberry, violets are threaded through the cassis and wild blackberry fruit, ripely lush on the palate and propped by soft tannins. The finish is pastille sweetened espresso. I believe that less is more, whereas this is still in the more is more camp.Tasted: 10 September 2018Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:| BC | $32.00 | 750ml | winery direct |
