Tasting Notes
Garnet in the glass with deep and complex aromas of ripe raspberry, fresh cracked pepper and smoke with notes of fresh meat, forest floor and granite. The palate is rich with concentrated flavours of raspberry, black olives, savoury herbs, spiced chocolate and fresh cracked pepper with soft tannins and balancing acidity. The finish is long with lingering notes of pepper and drying tannins.

WINEMAKING NOTES
Sourced from select vineyards in the Niagara Peninsula, our Reserve Syrah 2020 was harvested in early October at an average of 23.3° brix. Crushed and destemmed before cold soak, followed by alcoholic fermentation and maceration in stainless steel over 30 days. After pressing, the wine was transferred to a selection of French oak barrels for malolactic fermentation and ageing for 12 months. The wine was lightly fined and filtered prior to bottling in February 2022.
