It is generous but precise and spectacularly complex. The finish is really the standout here… long, evolving, and very compelling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0cm;\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0cm;\"\u003eAt 14%, it has that classic texture and structure you expect from Similkameen Syrah. Helped by the diurnal shift of the region, this is a wine that should easily age for over a decade.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0cm;\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0cm;\"\u003eAn absolute beauty.
