  Une syrah sur la mure, bonne dose floral, acidité moyenne, tannins présent mais pas trop aggressif. Assez ample avec une belle finale mais le fruit noir est en avant plan. Le vin me fais penser à un bon Cotes-Du-Rhone du Nord avec un peu plus de structure et d'amplitude. Il sera a son apogée dans 5 ans. Très bon vin !

  Apparence rouge bordeaux bonne densité.
  Nez exubérant. Empyromatique, cacao, vanille, pruneau.
  Bouche ample, généreuse,tanins fermes, fruits noirs, bleuet, mûre, violette (ou pivoine...), anis, un peu de chaleur (alcool 14,3%) finale poivrée.
  Entre le nouveau et le vieux monde...

  Not sure I can add much to the notes already made by ajbergren and KillerJones. So glad I’ve practiced patience with this wine. Decanting for 15-30 minutes balances and smoothes out the flavours.
  
  Rich black berry fruit, with hints of blueberry jam, medium acidity and tannins, present, but beautifully mellowed. Long lingering finish. Paired beautifully with the first BBQ ribeye of the season. Fantastic wine = It’s not often R and I fight over the last glass. 😧

  Incredible juice here...it won't be long before this Okanagan winery takes the world stage.
  
  Let it breath a little and you will be rewarded...as for me, I will be hoarding more of this.
  
  (See review by ajbergren below - it is poetic truth!)

  Dark purplish red with very high optical density and very high specular reflectivity. Aromas are vibrant and intense, with cherry, bramble, and blackberries providing a rich layered swirl around some tobacco and crushed nuts. Fresh acidity on the palate with full body and an even, polished texture that is very inviting. Intense flavours of mixed red and black berries on the attack, with a rich midpalate. Excellent density and concentration here. The flavours evolve toward forest floor and darker berries, with some floral and meaty character coming on. The final transition shows gravel and tar with some sea-side. Very alive and vibrant throughout, with excellent tension on the palate and a very balanced and elegant sensation. The finish shows some savory and dry notes of spices and with just enough tannins to clean up the palate nicely. Nice length here and still great intensity and complexity.
  
  This is really great wine. Just fantastic, alive, modern and vibrant, but classic and elegant. One of my favourite styles and producers! This has a lot of life in it for the cellar, but is tough to resist, as it drinks so well now! Really awesome!
