Impressive, fragrant, seamless.
From the Lazy River vineyard in the Similkameen Valley and the Summer Breeze Vineyard in Osoyoos, Mount Boucherie's reserve tier Syrah was aged in American and French oak, 25% new,
A bold statement of finely ground black pepper leads the charge and is braided with fragrant black raspberry and vanilla, a drizzle of pomegranate molasses and undertones of bittersweet cocoa and roasted coffee. Smooth and seamless the expressive wild red and black berry flavours are tossed with cocoa. Savoury undertones are expected, and the finish boasts sweet ripe tannins.
Impressive showing.
Pair:BBQ, savoury casseroles, wild mushrooms, cheese fondue, aged goat cheese and crusty bread slathered in smoky babaganoush.
