Road 13 Jackpot Syrah 2016
Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaJackpot indicates the big time, and that's exactly what you get with this giant, rich red. Lush chocolate cherries, overripe plum inflate this big, plush palate, warmed with alcohol and framed by spiced oak and brown spices. Tannins are dubbed smooth and almost negligible. There's a swig of fernet and mint on the boozy (14.7 declared) back end that warms the throat. This uses 2.8 percent viognier, the skins of which were cofermented with part of the syrah. After thrice daily punch downs over ten days, the wine was pressed off to wood where it remained until bottling in August 2018.Tasted: 22 December 2018Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:| BC | $40.00 | 750ml | winery direct, vqa and private wine stores |
