Bench 1775 Syrah 2015
Naramata Bench, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaCracked black pepper, smoked sausage, and heady violet announce this stylish Syrah as a classic. Deep dark fruit, exotic orange oil, fine-grained tannins, and luminous, juicy acidity imbues grower/winemaker Val Tait's expression of south Okanagan fruit with finesse and high drinkability. A touch of herbal savour and astringent nip on the finish nicely temper highly ripe fruit from the blistering 2015 vintage.Tasted: 10 September 2019Tasted by: DJ KearneyPrices:BC | $26.00 | 750ml | winery direct, private and VQA wine shops |
