Mission Hill Reserve Syrah 2019
Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaThe Mission Hill reserve wines are both a vineyard and cellar selection, and the fruit is a selection of the top 15 percent off its estate vineyards. Interestingly with time, 75 percent of the same vineyard blocks are used, ensuring consistency from vintage to vintage. 2019 is another fine effort, and for keen-eyed drinkers, you may note the label says syrah this year. I would conclude the style is tighter, drier, and more Rhone than Oz. Blueberries and pepper lead the rush along with a unique sleek texture throughout. At 13.5 percent alcohol, it has terrific balance: it doesn't attack you and supports the food. Well done. You can drink or hold.Tasted: 14 April 2022Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:| BC | $35.00 | 750ml | BCLS, winery direct, private wine shops |
