The Wine Umbrella Co-Syrah 2020
CanadaThe latest from the Umbrella is Co-Syrah, a blend of 91 percent syrah and 9 percent viognier. The largish hit of viognier takes this syrah into shiraz land, as does its silky smooth, super-ripe fruit aromas and flavours. Winemaker Mireille Sauvé has a style I describe as juicy and unpretentious. Many happy folks will be ready to kill a bottle or two of Co-Syrah over a roast leg lamb or more casual sausages on the barbecue. Black plums, black raspberries, all at the edge of sweetness, give this peppery, weighty red a long smooth delivery that makes it fun to drink. Like last year a portion of the profit goes to the BC chapter of Les Dames D'Escoffier, and its many charitable causes.Tasted: 08 January 2022Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:BC | $39.95 | 750ml | select private retailers |
