This has majorly improved since release. I agree nose is not quite as pronounced as a Northern Rhone Syrah but my goodness this is good for Ontario. Hats of to Brian Schmidt at Vineland, he is really making wines that are elegant and ageable!! Was lovely with grilled lamb loin chops

Spicy complex nose with black pepper and licorice, blackberries, a joy to sniff. "Reminds me of a Crozes-Hermitage" my friend said - I agreed. The taste is smooth, some tannins but not too much, blackberries, meats, with a nice finish, but it does not quite match the smell.
