Jennifer Havers rated this wine as 89/100 with the following review:

Aromas of red cherry and raspberry, along with hints of mint, black pepper, violets and leather. Full bodied, with soft tannins, and bright acidity, highlighting vibrant red fruit on the palate. Herb and spice notes are subtle and the finish is soft and a little lighter than I anticipated with the flavourful nose on this wine. I would enjoy this with a peppery steak or grilled portobello mushrooms.
Craig Haynes rated this wine as 89/100 with the following review:

Floral, minty and herbal notes accented the red fruit layers in this syrah’s bouquet. Medium bodied, the palate displayed a red fruit core framed with soft tannins and well-integrated oak influences.

Crafted from hand harvested grapes grown in Ontario’s Four Mile Creek appellation, this syrah’s wine making pedigree includes 24 month maturation in small French and American oak barrels. Enjoy.

Unquenchable by Natalie MacLean

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.

The Financial Times of London

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
