Vasanti Estate Winery Canvas Radiance Collection 2022, Okanagan Valley, Canada is a bold and opulent red blend crafted from roughly equal parts Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah. It opens with intense aromas of black plum, black cherry, menthol, vanilla and cedar. The palate is full-bodied and richly layered, revealing ripe dark fruit, cracked pepper, dark chocolate and subtle savoury minerality, supported by structured tannins and a long, powerful finish at about 14.5% alcohol. Fascinating fact: This wine is inspired by the classic Cabernet-Syrah blends popularized in Australia, combining the structure of Cabernet Sauvignon with the spice and richness of Syrah for a powerful, cellar-worthy style. Serve it at cool room temperature and consider decanting.

Food pairings: grilled venison, rosemary lamb chops, tomahawk steak, smoked eggplant with tahini.

Reviews and Ratings

Deborah Podurgiel WSET IV Candidate - Certified Sommelier rated this wine as 93/100 with the following review:

Vasanti's Radiance Collection Canvas 2022 is a rich, full-bodied and savoury red produced from Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah grapes sourced from the winery's estate vineyards in southern British Columbia. A youthful and vivid canvas of dark plum, cassis, dark cherry, mint, dark chocolate finishing with a long, spicy cracked black pepper kiss, the wine is harmonious with fresh acidity for food supported with fine-grained and very structured tannins. Good now but decant it for several hours prior to pouring it with prime rib from the grill. Personally, I would pick up a few bottles to see how the wine progresses over the years. Drink through 2035. Tasted March 2026.
