2022 Clos du Soleil Syrah 🔥 93+pts

This Old World, Rhone Valley inspired Syrah, was one of the stand out wines at the third edition of the Pan-Canadian Masterclass. Aged for 16 months in French oak, using 75% neutral barrels and 25% second use. Note that 2% Viognier was co-fermented with the Syrah, which helped deliver a dark colour. The nose opens up with aromas of black cherry, blackberry, graphite, smoked meat, a hint of olive. The palate is densely packed, lifted by bright acidity, with layers of dark fruit, blueberry, peppers, finely textured tannins, and notes of tobacco and licorice on the finish. That stunning Similkameen minerality is unique - something you won't find anywhere else in Canada.
