Ex Nihilo XXX Single Vineyard Syrah 2016
Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaThe XXX comes in a heavyweight, oversized bottle that suggests heft from the front end to the back end. The fruit originates from a single vineyard site in Naramata, the sweet spot for growing temperatures in the Okanagan Valley and certainly one of the cooler syrah sites. The wine was barrel fermented and aged in French oak for 22 months and bottled with minimal filtration. The mocha and espresso aromas preview a sweet, round palate of black fruits, licorice, dried figs, and cinnamon. It fits the hedonistic Ex Nihilo style forsaking a bit of complexity for more immediate reward on the palate. Ready toi drink now or though 2020. Best with a leg of lamb or roasted meats.Tasted: 21 December 2018Tasted by: Prices:| BC | $80.00 | 750ml | wine club members and tasting room only |
