8th Generation Vineyard Syrah 2016

Okanagan Falls, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaGreen peppercorns, sapid branch, peppercorn dominates this Summerland syrah, one that feels like it's dosed with ample cabernet franc. Salt cured meats, roasted root veg, earth take over this lighter bodied syrah (12.5 degrees), one that spent one year aging in French barrique. I appreciate the freshness here, though there is not quite enough ripe fruit here to support the wood and framework. That said, if you're a massive lean franc fan, you might want to try this Summerland syrah for a change. For Wine Club members only.Tasted: 29 October 2018Tasted by: Prices:
