Bartier Bros. Grenache Syrah Mourvèdre 2020

Summerland Bench, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaThe Bartier GSM, 43/38/19 grenache, syrah, mourvèdre comes off the Black Sage Terrace in Oliver. The soils are sandy, but unlike the bench, the sandy loam topsoil sits over granitic, feldspar sand and gravel subsoils. After a 19-day ferment and maceration period, the wine is blended and aged for 16 months in French oak before bottling. It is a ripe, plummy black fruited wine with glossy tannins, black pepper, cinnamon, violet, and sagebrush undertones. Sophisticated but easy-sipping, this is a terrific wine for barbecues, before, during, and after the grilling.Tasted: 06 August 2022Tasted by: Prices:
