Note: I publish batches of reviews that I call Good Values Wine Picks. These are from the regular section of the liquor store rather than the Vintages section, and tend to be lower priced and the most widely available of all wines. The last four reviews I did were: May 22, March 7, January 4 and December 16.

Tasting note:

A spectacular Syrah from one of Canada's best producers. This full-bodied red with hedonistically rich layers of blackberry, blueberry, violets and mocha almost overwhelms the senses, but fortunately leaves you in a steady enough state to ask for a top up. Richly structured and balanced, with incredible length, this is a cellar candidate. But why wait?

Opinions about wine differ greatly as the experience is subjective. You may find it helpful to compare this critical evaluation of the wine with mine as well as your own:
Deep purple, almost opaque, with heady aromas of blueberry, plums, white pepper and dark chocolate. The palate continues on to show rich, dark fruit, exotic spice notes and a distinct minerality. This opulent Syrah is impeccably balanced by mouthwatering acidity and fine, elegant tannins.
