2022 Syrah Cabernet Sauvignon
TASTING NOTE
This vintage the Syrah notes shine with lots of white pepper, baking spices and vanilla. The palate is complex with dark plums, cured meat and cacao. Youthful tannins and bright acidity give a glimpse into the aging potential of this powerhouse blend.

Aromas of dark fruit and chocolate lead to a ripe and juicy palate. The finish is marked by fresh cracked pepper spice with silky and ripe tannins. Flavours of cured meat and cassis add depth and complexity.

VINTAGE REVIEW
This wine was created with fruit harvested from Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon vines planted in 2009, two years after our initial planting was done in 2007. The varieties were harvested on October 27, 2021, fermented separately, and aged in 30% new French oak barrels. The wine was blended prior to bottling. Unfiltered.
