Another year, another fantastic Bush Vines Syrah. This is becoming one of the greatest little-known secrets of the Okanagan Valley. I tasted the Maverick Bush Vines Syrah for 4 years in a row now, and every single time, it reminds me of how consistently good it is - but also maintains the excitement of vintage variation. 2022 brought a cool spring and a late start in this Golden Mile vineyard, but the warm and very long growing season tends to deliver wines with finesse and tremendous flavour definition, and that’s what the latest release of the Bush Vines offers. On the nose, aromas of black cherry, raspberry jam, a meaty component enhanced by violets and fresh herbs, with a hint of coffee and tobacco. The palate is directional, fresh, precise and fantastically expressive, showing great ripeness and generosity. Flavours of black cherry, blueberry pie, dark plum, expresso coffee, a hint of dried sage and a wonderful graphite sensation blended with a lingering white pepper finish. Every year, this wine blows me away, and the 2022 vintage is no different. This is also one of the best priced Syrahs on the market - perhaps the very best at this price point. (Carl Boucher, November 8, 2024). Only 260 cases made.
