Desert Hills Syrah Three Boys Vineyard 2012

Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaAlways one of the best labels at Desert Hills, a bright white pepper nose mixes with smoky savoury meaty notes in the 2012. On the palate, more smoked meat, tar and black fruit, with some fairly prominent acidity throughout. Perfect for roast lamb. Three Boys Vineyard is the estate plot on the Black Sage Bench and the syrah is planted 8 x 3 feet to reduce the amount of fruit per vine harvested.Tasted: 11 October 2017Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:
