Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaThis syrah comes off their East Bench vineyard, harvested quite ripe. After a ferment in stainless, this aged 2 years in new American oak. At this point it's mostly ripe black fruit and sweet coconut oak, with dense and meaty blackberry and cassis underneath to a bitter finish. Tannins are ripe and smoothed, while acidity rests strangely underneath. Quite a made wine, with little sense of provenance.Tasted: 15 February 2026Tasted by: Prices:

Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaThe Radiance Syrah opens with a cool climate, floral, spicy nose and aromatic red fruit. The palate is a mix of sour cherries and licorice, with a strong savoury acidic aftertaste. This needs time in the bottle to pull all its parts together, but at this point, it's lacking charm and ripe fruit.Tasted: 08 November 2025Tasted by: Prices:
