Stag's Hollow Syrah Amalia Vineyard 2019

Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, Canada2019 was a cooler than average year across the Okanagan and can produce some exciting wines in the south, where too much heat can be an issue in some years. Less skin contact and less oak were employed to play up the fresher, floral fruit side. It opens with a classic peppery, meaty nose with a fresh reddish/dark fruit dusted in violets and smoked meat. The palate is more similar, with some tart notes and rounded tannins in the finish—a perfect wine for grilled pork or lamb chops. The fruit comes from the sandy loam soils of Amalia Vineyard, Osoyoos West Bench.Tasted: 17 October 2021Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:
