2016 Riverbend Barrel Select Syrah
Each year our winemakers select one barrel of each variety which expresses the best feature of the vintage and our Estate Riverbend Vineyard. That one barrel is then bottled on its own, meaning only 25 cases of each of these varietals are produced. Our 2016 Barrel Select wines showcase the purity and signature characteristics of each Fielding Hills varietal. One vineyard, one variety, one barrel and one vintage with pinpoint purity and razor-sharp exactness.
The 2016 Barrel Select Syrah is a classic showcase of Wahluke Slope. The mouthfeel is peppery with dark cherry and blackberry - a balanced and lingering finish
