British Columbia, CanadaThe Reserve Syrah is a barrel selection from three Southern Okanagan parcels. It is less pure this year, hidden under a dusting of smoky skies, made even more evident by the 2020 sections in the tasting. Savoury forest floor, pepper, and licorice set the tone for a drier style that never really opens up in the glass. Simple but flavourful food is the best solution here. I think you get the picture: bacon burgers, ribs, barbecue chicken. Drink up sooner than later.Tasted: 11 August 2022Tasted by: Prices:

British Columbia, CanadaThe Reserve Syrah is a barrel selection from 3 different parcels in the Southern Okanagan, with 20% whole cluster and 18 months in neutral French oak before bottling unfined and unfiltered. You can taste the forest fires of 2018 here, seeing this big, plush red through a smokey haze. Browning cherry, red currant, and worn leather are pinned by sticky tannins and seasoned with baking spices. This wine is tiring before its time, though it could be suited to cracking into now with a roast beef sandwich or the like.Tasted: 16 October 2022Tasted by: Prices:
