Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaJackpot is always jacked up, beginning with its 15.3 percent alcohol, and from the beginning, it’s been a nod to the ripe, Barossa Valley style of South Australia. Expect ripe, black cherry jam laced with white pepper and a good whack of savoury, spicy Okanagan sagebrush. The tannins are slippery, suggesting this will be ready to go in the next two years. Get out your favourite rich dishes and pair them with this red. If you like big, you may just hit the jackpot.Tasted: 13 June 2020Tasted by: Prices:

Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaRoad 13 takes their Jackpot Syrah to another level of ripeness, clocking in at 15.3% abv on the label. It’s really more shiraz-like in style, with jammy black fruits and white pepper that will you have you thinking Barossa. Just replace sagebrush for Australia’s eucalyptus. The tannins are quite polished, and the wood more in the background, making this approachable even just two years after the vintage. I don’t know if weight and opulence is the future of Okanagan syrah, but there’s no denying that this is an enjoyable pour all the same.Tasted: 05 November 2019Tasted by: Prices:
