From the Okanagan Valley, British Columbia wine region Burrowing Owl 2015 estate-bottled Cabernet Sauvignon is a big, bold, full-bodied red with layers of fleshy blackberry fruit, dark chocolate, espresso, garrigue herbs and chewy tannins. Really impressive. The winery is a leader in sustainable and eco-friendly winemaking in the Okanagan Valley.

Reviews and Ratings

Jennifer Havers - WSET Level 3 rated this wine as 92/100 with the following review:

This is a lovely wine! Aromas of dark berry (blackberry and blueberry), mocha, espresso, mint and eucalyptus. Full bodied, supple and fleshy on the palate, lots of ripe fruit, mingled with medium + acidity and some smooth tannin (after decanting). Overall, beautifully balanced, lots of vibrant flavours, acidity and a lengthy, nuanced finish. Enjoy with red meat or richly flavoured lentil dishes.

Really impressive. The winery is a leader in sustainable and eco-friendly winemaking in the Okanagan Valley. They've installed banks of photovoltaic solar panels on their property to provide their own sustainable energy, and solar water-heating. Decant for one hour and pair this lush red with a ribeye steak. - Community Wine Reviews
