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: March 7, January 4, December 16 and November 20.

Tasting note:

Lovely deep notes of black cherry and pepper with some blackberry in the background. Round, supple and full-bodied. Luscious! Food matches: lamb korma, prime rib, dishes wth black bean sauce, BBQ fish.

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:
Syrah is an astonishing South Okanagan success story. Our hot, dry growing
conditions are uncannily similar to Syrah’s home base in the Northern Rhone, and
clearly Syrah is at home here too. One third of the 2007 Syrah was fermented in
open top fermenters and the remaining two thirds in small stainless steel tanks.
It was aged for 19 months in new to 2 year old French oak. It was then blended
together before bottling. It then spent over a year in bottle before release.
