Generous, aromatic, delicious.
A first for me, this delicious and harmonious Syrah (blended with Malbec, Viognier, Merlot and Cabernet Franc) comes from an Osoyoos vineyard called Hanes Creek on a steep lakeside slope.
It's an exuberant style, fragrant with blackberry jam, raspberry tea, vanilla, mocha, licorice violets and finely ground white pepper. It is as flavourful as it is aromatic; generous purple fruit and sweet spices abound. It is juicy and balanced with a long finish supported up by ripe tannins.
