Tinhorn Creek 2013 Oldfield Series Syrah (Okanagan Valley)

Country: Canada / Oldfield Series
Variety: Syrah British Columbia
Winery: Tinhorn Creek / Okanagan Valley

Pure varietal, this is a relatively light take on Syrah, but balanced and showing some nice details of tobacco and licorice. The fruit is tart—a mix of rhubarb and tangy red berry—and there’s ample acidity for those who like their reds to snap into focus.
