Tightrope Winery Syrah 2020
Naramata Bench, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaThis Syrah is all Paisley Vineyard, a west facing and steep site on the Upper Naramata Bench. It is co-fermented with 6% viognier to fix the colour and add some florals to the vibrant blackberry and cherry. This is similar to last year's edition, pitching peppery, toast, and bright acidity but with a skinny mid-palate and finish. A cool, juicy, lean Rhône-like texture that needs a bit of fat to counterbalance the freshness here.Tasted: 11 October 2023Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:BC | $40.00 | 750ml | winery online/direct, select private retailers, restaurants |
