Tasting Notes: In the glass: cherry, plum, sage, tobacco, black pepper; medium-plus body with soft, silky tannins.Farm Notes: All the grapes for this Syrah were sourced exclusively from the Paisley Vineyard on the Upper Naramata Bench. This vineyard is west-facing and very steep, providing excellent ripening.Maker Notes: The Syrah is co-fermented with Viognier (5%), which accounts for its deep colour and the floral hints on the nose. This wine was fermented in small lots, of approximately 1 ton each, and was cold-soaked for 5 days, before natural fermentation began. Once fermentation was complete, the free-run juice was drained off and the remaining skins were gently pressed. The wine was barrel-aged for 12 months, in French oak – 50% new, with one barrel of American oak, for added complexityFood Pairing Notes: venison stew; leg of lamb with rosemaryAppellation: Naramata BenchFarm Designation: Paisley Vineyard, Naramata BenchAcid: 7.05PH: 3.76Residual Sugar: 2.23Alcohol Percentage: 14%Grower: Paisley
