Covert Farms Syrah Grand Reserve 2018
Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaMid-to-late summer smoke delayed ripening in the south Okanagan, although a fall warm spell helped some varieties catch up before it was too late. The syrah fruit comes off the ominously named Coyote Block, and is certified organic. It was picked on November 1. The nose is still a bit closed, showing light aromatics before the black and white pepper kicks in. The attack is fresh and vibrant with cool blueberry mixing with black raspberry and tailing off into a fresh, clean finish. Far too young at this point to be fully assessed. It is some of the best winemaking we have seen from Covert Farms, which is very encouraging.Tasted: 17 December 2020Tasted by: Prices:| BC | $40.80 | 750ml | winery online/direct |
