Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaThe classic C&S Syrah mixes Coyote Bowl and Détente vineyards off the first and third Black Sage benches. Post ferment, it spends 12 months in French barriques before bottling. The nose is an aromatic affair pitching violets and black pepper before morphing into sticky blackcurrant and blueberry that finishes dry and relatively short. There is no need to wait here. I think barbecue ribs or flank steak would be the match.Tasted: 17 April 2023Tasted by: Prices:

Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaThe classic C&S Syrah blends fruit from Coyote Bowl and Détente vineyards, both on the Black Sage Bench. After fermentation and maceration in stainless over 3 weeks, this aged in French oak for 1 year. Perfumed violets, cedar, blackberry, and cassis rule the fuller palate, with blocky tannins taking this to a shorter, bitter, warming finish. Crack into now, with a meaty / root veg stew.Tasted: 03 May 2023Tasted by: Prices:
