Lakeside Cellars Syrah 2016
Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaFrom Hahn Vineyard, on Osoyoos' East Bench, this was fermented and aged in new and 2nd fill American oak for 24 months prior to bottling. It's a recipe that Lakeside Cellars seems to employ for all of its big reds, and one that just amplifies the wines beyond need. Overripe fruit is redolent with big baking spices, toasted cedar, and smoke, weighting down the full body. Tannins are worn soft, and the alcohol (14.2% declared) warms up the finish. Too much heavy winemaking here, which is a pity.Tasted: 03 December 2019Tasted by: Prices:| BC | $26.00 | 750ml | winery direct |
