Linda from the Sahali Liquor Store brought in another great gift idea for Test A Wine Tuesday. From Clos Du Soleil in Keremeos, the Grower’s Middle Bench Syrah. Deep purple in colour, you can immediately smell aromas of freshly crushed raspberries and black currants complimented with subtle notes of baking spice, sagebrush, and pepper. On the palate a bright and fresh acidity is met with these same flavours of wild raspberries accented with notes of blackcurrant and a hint of cloves. Soft and supple in the mouth with very fine tannins, this exclusive and limited production Syrah would pair wonderfully with fatty meats like Prime Rib, and Lamb.
