Frind Estate Premier Syrah 2019

Okanagan Falls, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaSourced from 30-year old vines at Knollvine Vineyard in Okanagan Falls, this shows quite a youthful nose, with dusty oak at the forefront right now after aging for 10 months in new French oak. Underneath, there’s a confected quality to the fruit, but without the savouriness typical of Okanagan syrah. The abundant oak gives a slight perception of sweetness to the palate, but it still retains a juiciness thanks to its 13.3% abv. The soft tannins make this approachable now, but if possible I'd give this some time to try to allow the oak to further integrate.Tasted: 17 November 2020Tasted by: Prices:
