Rust Wine Co Lost Horn Vineyard Syrah 2019

Okanagan Falls, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaPurple wax seals the Rust Okanagan Falls Lost Horn Vineyard Syrah, one of four single vineyard releases in 2018, and the first from OK Falls. It is made with barely planted (2016) ungrafted clone 877 growing over clay loam soils. Post ferment, it spends ten months in 20 percent new French oak. OK Falls is pinot country and decidedly cooler than the south Okanagan, so as rich as this syrah is, it remains more peppery and savoury with underlying blackberry, black plum, and blueberry with a hit of brown spice. Fresh (at 400 metres) and a bit skinny, this wine is pretty much what you might expect from younger vines. Serve now with savoury meats or age three to five more years in the cellar.Tasted: 31 January 2022Tasted by: Prices:
