Tightrope Winery Syrah 2018
Naramata Bench, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaThis Naramata Bench Syrah is cofermented with three percent viognier, presenting super fresh and bright. It was barrel aged for ten months in mostly French oak, adding a light touch of toastiness to a silky, smooth palate. The attack is savoury and tart with plenty of black pepper, floral, mineral, blueberry, blackberry. Terrific balance and styling at only 13.8 percent alcohol make this a winner for dinner now, although I suspect it will age effortlessly through 2025 under screwcap.Tasted: 21 September 2020Tasted by: Prices:BC | $34.00 | 750ml | winery online/direct, select private retailers, restaurants |
