Painted Rock Syrah Cabernet Sauvignon 2021
Skaha Bench, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaA massive heat dome reduced yields in 2021, but if you were diligent, you could pick fully ripe fruit, as was the case at Painted Rock. The 78/22 blend was aged in 30% new French oak. The attack is surprisingly fresh before the oak and tannins kick in from a rich, black fruited wine. There are plenty of savoury elements throughout that intensify the spicy finish. This needs five years in the bottle before it begins to open up. Cassis, plums, chocolate, and white pepper are the story now, so this will be best with a leg of lamb today.Tasted: 21 September 2023Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:| BC | $49.99 | 750ml | winery online/direct |
