Narrative Syrah by Okanagan Crush Pad 2016
Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaTar, desert scrub and medicinal resin lines this organically grown Southern Okanagan syrah, fermented and aged in concrete. It’s slightly reductive on the nose, but swirling your glass is helpful if you don’t do a splash decant. Wild thorns, dusky plum, green raspberry, stems, and cracked black pepper raft along the steady, juicy flow, banked with grippy, fine tannins characteristic of concrete. There's an tarry, pitchy bitterness on the finish of this youthful, medium-bodied wine which we find slightly distracting without food. It's ready, and meant, for drinking now. Best with grilled lamb or beef.Tasted: 19 November 2017Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:| BC | $29.90 | 750ml | winery direct, private wine shops |
