WineDiva's Review

Muscular, wild, peppery.
Only 444 cases made, this Syrah comes from a warm site on the South Okanagan and was matured in barriques (30% new French). Aromas here are wild purple berries, peppery spices, dried herbs and dusty black cherry with leather, tobacco and cocoa. The entry offers liberal sweet fruit and supple weight, it grows more muscular mid-palate and leans toward espresso and smoked meat with spice rub flavours. Good length and balanced acidity but oak seems to dominate the finish. .
Pair with grilled or roasted meats aged goat cheeses or rich winter stews.
