Painted Rock Estate Winery 2016 Syrah - 91+pts

Painted Rock Estate Winery 2016 Syrah (Skaha Bench) Okanagan Valley - BC

Availability: Not yet released. Direct from the winery here
Cost: TBA
Alcohol: 14.5%

Date Tasted: March 2nd, 2019

Tasting Notes: An intense and ripe, dark and red fruit driven Syrah with prominent spice notes on the New World fashioned profile with added layers of sun-dried earth, blood orange, mint, toasted oak and vanilla. With time in the glass to open up, a susurus of cola and chocolate aromas show on the developing nose and cigar box and black pepper flavours linger on the long finish. 


Could improve with further time in the cellar, but, ready to go now and through the next 5-6 years. Drink 2019-2024.
