Burrowing Owl Syrah 2022

Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaDeeply coloured and confidently from South Okanagan, the 2022 Syrah offers plenty of ripe blackberry, blueberry, and meaty notes, streaked with violet, black pepper, olive tapenade, and desert scrub. It is a rich vintage with plenty of weight and power, with tannins mostly silky, and the oak present but not overwhelming. Lamb pairs well at this young age. The fruit undergoes a 4 day cold soak, followed by 25 days of fermentation maceration. It spends 16 months in barrels: 63% French, 20% American, 12% Hungarian, and 5% Caucasus, all 27 months old.Tasted: 24 January 2026Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:
