I stumbled across this and thought immediately it needs to be opened. I was right. Tasted like I should have opened this bottle a year ago. I just like more fruit and less earth and leather.

A very subtle and smooth syrah, not an aussie fruit bomb, but more of a feminine style. Smooth tannins and a bit of pepper/spice gave it a nice finish. Didn't gain much on day two.

Decent nose, but nothing note worthy. Smooth, but again nothing note worthy. Short finish.

Nothing special here, medium bodied with some cherry flavor on the palate.

Green, cedar notes dominated over any fruit. May have been a bad bottle. Two hours of aeration didn't help.

Quite simply the oakiest wine I have ever had. I can't imagine that the winemaker wanted to make such an oakbomb but he did.

Lovely, full wine. The signature earthy, robust, plum fruit of Canoe Ridge is there in full force. Deep, rich, wine. Very enjoyable.
