Rust Wine Co. South Rock Vineyard Syrah 2018

Golden Mile Bench, Oliver, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaThe smartly orange waxed Okanagan Valley Syrah is one of 3 single-vineyard syrahs released by Rust in the 2018 vintage. It comes from Naramata Bench's South Rock Vineyard's gravelled clays and older vines and is aged 16 months in French and American oak, 27% new. Well-knit from the get-go, with waves of black pepper, cured salami, black cherry, aromatic musk, and blackberry jam along a rolling, plush palate, with softer tannins taking this to a grippy baking spice finish.Tasted: 26 March 2021Tasted by: Prices:
