Rust Wine Co. Ferreira Vineyard Syrah 2019

Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaFerreira Vineyard sits at the very northern edge of the Black Sage Bench in northeast Oliver. The soils are a mix of volcanic, granitic sands that give the wine a specific lift in acidity. The vines, clone 877, are now 17 years old. You don't feel much of an effect from its ten months rest in French oak, although only 20% was new. The attack is fresh, and the wine is light on its feet for a syrah with black plum and pepper more than anything else. The tannins are well managed, and the finish is a spicy affair. Definitely more northern Rhone, and very food friendly.Tasted: 31 January 2022Tasted by: Prices:
