Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaThe Bartier Syrah is grown a stone's throw from the winery, on the Black Sage Gravel Terrace's Cerqueira Vineyard. The nose is wide open, offering sweet cassis mixed with floral violet undertones and a strong minerality. The attack is savoury and silky, pushing wild silver sage scented blackberry jam through the finish. Young, round, and lively, it's gulpable now but will age for many years. The fruit is mostly destemmed (10% whole cluster) before undergoing an 18-day ferment and 17 months in neutral 225L French oak. Impressive terroir wine Mr. Bartier.Tasted: 09 October 2020Tasted by: Prices:

Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaFrom Black Sage Bench's Cerqueira Vineyard, this syrah was mostly destemmed (10% whole cluster) before an 18-day ferment and 17 months in neutral 225L French oak. Big and mouth-filling, with savoury freshness (that 10% whole cluster went a long way), helps buoy ripe cassis, wild blackberry, shepherd's pie, and crushed violets. Tannins are ample, lightly sticky, and well-integrated, properly supportive of the fruit. Though this is drinking very well now, it will doubtlessly improve in bottle over the next couple of years.Tasted: 14 October 2020Tasted by: Prices:

Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaA dark-fruited, aromatic expression of syrah that's distinctly Okanagan is a combination of pepper, violets, and sage, alongside iodine and macerated blackberries. It's broad and mouth-filling, with medium-grained, sweet tannins. Still youthful and densely concentrated, it opens up in the glass, so give this some time. Made from fruit grown at Cerqueira Vineyard on the Black Sage Gravel Terrace, most of the fruit was destemmed and crushed, with 10 percent added as whole clusters. After an inoculated fermentation, the wine was aged for 17 months in neutral French oak.Tasted: 13 June 2020Tasted by: Prices:
