Tightrope Winery Syrah 2022
Naramata Bench, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaThe 2022 95/5 syrah/viognier was co-fermented and aged for one year in 100 percent French oak, 50% of which was new. The fruit comes from a west-facing, steep slope on the Upper Naramata Bench. It is the best we have seen from Tightrope and among the best we have tasted in B.C. Despite all the new French oak, it appears to have been easily absorbed by this elegant, flavourful, peppery edition that is all Northern Rhone in style. Violet florals and sweet plum and desert brush notes add complexity to the wine from front to back. The finish is all silk and class. Well done.Tasted: 04 July 2025Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:| BC | $40.00 | 750ml | winery online/direct, select private retailers, restaurants |
