Potent, generous, polished.
This potent Syrah comes from LFNG's estate Perfect Hedge vineyard in Osoyoos. It was co-fermented with 3% Viognier (a nod to Northern Rhone Valley's versions) then aged 20 months in 35% new and 18% puncheons.
Chocolate dipped cherries, espresso, black raspberry, vanilla, violets, cardamom and star anise aromas lead to an equally plush and generous palate. Purple fruits, licorice, pipe tobacco, espresso and rich chocolaty flavours are underscored by pepper. It's a lengthy and warm wine with sweet, polished tannins.
15.4% ABV.
