2016 Summerhill “Spadefoot Toad” Syrah wine The palate offers an explosion

The palate offers an explosion of blue fruits right out of the gate followed by red pepper jelly

The richness and the complexity is beyond fantastic for a wine of this price-point

this medium+ body Merlot perfectly profiles the star power and potential of this grape varietal in the Okanagan

and I like the aging potential

with flavours of dark fruits

2016 Summerhill “Spadefoot Toad” Syrah wine The palate offers an explosionWinery notes: Bold, dark and smooth with notes of blackberry, soft leather, ripe raspberry and black pepper. Subtle oak character gives a whisper of vanilla and spice. Firm, gripping tannins and bright acidity buttress the concentrated fruit flavours, providing excellent structure for long term cellaring. Decant and enjoy tonight or cellar 5 7 years! Syrah clones #7, #99 and #100 were fermented separately in small lots with daily hand cap management.
