2018 Tightrope Syrah🔥94pts🔥 Exclusive Library Release!

A textbook representation of a well aged, well made Naramata Bench Syrah. Now hitting year number eight, this wine is shining on all fronts. The oak is perfectly integrated, the tanins are soft and silky, the texture has hit 'Rockstar,' super-premium level, and the overall integration of all aspects of this wine is just perfectly pin-pointed. The aromas are a great blend of forest floor, tobacco, spice, and ripe dark fruits. Meanwhile the palate shows savouriness, softness, complexity, all leaning on meaty, dark fruits and peppery tones. The oak characteristics show from the front to back palate, while the spices have mellowed down but are still present on the finish. I can give this wine 2-3 more years in the cellar easily. Absolutely fantastic! (Carl Boucher, Oct 2, 2025).
