Made the way syrah is made in the northern Rhône appellation of Côte-Rôtie. This one comes from the glorious Similkameen Valley, however, with more grape-ripening sunshine than the Rhône can offer. Full, meaty and smooth, with rich dark fruit, dark chocolate, peppery spice and a seductive nuance of smoky bacon. Available direct from Vanessavineyard.com.
