Ex Nihilo XXX Single Vineyard Syrah 2016
Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaThe massive weight bottle does indicate at this single vineyard syrah's heft. Though the Naramata vineyard remains unnamed, we do know this powerful wine was fermented, and then aged in French oak for 22 months, and bottled with minimal filtration. Mocha and espresso lead the blackberry, black cherry fruit, filtered with charcoal, dried fig, and allspice. Tannins are plush, grained with wood, and finish with a warm flush. Ex Nihilo has never followed the Less-Is-More school of wine, and those who subscribe to the same will be in love with this.Tasted: 29 October 2018Tasted by: Prices:BC | $80.00 | 750ml | wine club members and tasting room only |
