Laughing Stock Vineyards Syrah +11/10 2019
Osoyoos, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaThe LS Syrah has been a consistent performer, even after the Enns family sold to Arterra. I’m sure a lot has to do with Perfect Hedge Vineyard, home to this fruit on the Osoyoos East Bench. The original wine was Côte Rôtie inspired, hence the drop of viognier co-fermented with the syrah each harvest. In 2019 it was a giant wine with dense, sweet, spicy black raspberry and Bing cherry that tips the hedonistic scale. It is all aged for 20 months in 35% new French oak (18% puncheons). The result is sophisticated fragrant blue fruit with a subtle mix of grilled meat and smoke throughout rich Bing cherry and black raspberry. It is soft, round, and approachable. More Australian than French in 2019, it is pretty much ready to go.Tasted: 10 November 2021Tasted by: Prices:| BC | $39.99 | 750ml | winery direct |
