Osoyoos, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaThis syrah opens with fragrant red and black fruit, cracked pepper, and cured meat. I like the mid-weight and 13.5% alcohol, allowing the palate to effortlessly support the black licorice, spice, and black and blue fruit. It's intense but with a sense of balance and even refinement in the finish. It is easy to like now and will improve in the bottle over the next five years. From the Cut Wines tier, the '22 Syrah is from a single vineyard: Deadman Lake Vineyard, just outside Osoyoos. The 17 year old vines are planted on brown chernozem and shale soils, and after fermentation the wine was aged for 14 months in American, French, and Slovak oak.Tasted: 08 November 2025Tasted by: Prices:

Osoyoos, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaThis is an impressive syrah from Deadman Lake Vineyard in Oliver, which was even better on day two. Expect lush wild berries and dark plum fruit that's lifted by violets and peppery spice. It's very much on the savoury side of the variety, as good syrah tends to be, but backed by excellent fruit density. There's real depth and complexity here, and it's easy to imagine this just getting better over the next 3-5 years.Tasted: 28 November 2025Tasted by: Prices:
