Syrah 2009

This is only our 2nd release of Syrah, one of the new grape varieties that we are working with at our Perfect Hedge vineyard in Osoyoos. The style we have developed is aligned with the classic Côte Rotie, blending 92% Syrah with 8% Viognier. By combining the strong masculinity of Syrah with the more delicate femininity of Viognier, the result is a classic example of how the whole is greater than the individual parts.

The combination of these Rhone-style varietals creates a wine of intense purple colour, a concentrated dried blueberry and carmelized nose, with elevated perfume notes from the Viognier. On the palate, the wine has intense black cherry, plum, clove and tobacco and the Viognier addition brings a mouthfeel with a long supple finish.

Price: $34.00
