The nose is sweet, Bing cherries cooked in brown sugar. ON the palate, the flavors are far more tart than sweet, sour cherry and redcurrant lead on the attack. Plum and hints of black fruit show on the mid-palate, along with touches of olive, rosemary, and tarragon. Tannins are big,

The emergence of syrah in Canada, and in particular in British Columbia's Okanagan Valley, has been one of the most pleasant developments of the last few years, in Canada, and this wine is one of the finest examples of what that grape can do in that particular region. Born of

Hugely dark, no light can penetrate the wine's depths. Blackcurrants, vanilla, and black pepper show on the nose.

Sweet nose with pretty fruits, pineapple and pears. On the palate apples take the lead, softening to pear on the mid- palate. A bit of ginger on the mid-palate leads to lemon curd on the finish. There is on underlying salinity from start to finish. This is a very nice

Blackberries, vanilla and alcohol heat waft up from the glass. Blackberries, roasted, meat, soy, and loads of graphite, along with leafy herbs, are all on the palate. Vanilla comes through strong on the mid-palate. There are lots of flavors there, but they are not in pleasing blends and smoothly transitioning
