Tightrope Winery Syrah 2016
Naramata Bench, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaTasted again at The Judgement of BC, where it finished first overall, this Naramata syrah is the perfect reflection of moderate mid-valley temperatures and a coferment with six to seven percent viognier. The style is fresh and more critical balanced. It was fermented in small lots after a five day cold soak, collecting colour without alcohol, and then barrel aged for ten months, in mostly French oak. The nose is floral, with violets spilling onto its black cherry, blueberry, tobacco palate. The finish is silky, ripe, savoury, and best of all, elegant.Tasted: 03 November 2019Tasted by: Prices:| BC | $36.95 | 750ml | winery direct, private wine shops |
