Heather Wall rated this wine as 91/100 with the following review:

An enticing deep ruby showing extraction in the slow moving legs great the sipper of this weighty Okanagan VQA Syrah. An abundance of dark fruit, cherry pepper, prune,charred wood on the nose. The palate is smooth with a touch of lingering sweetness on the finish. A very enjoyable wine. Perfect BBQ wine.
Tasted: March 2015

Jane Staples rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

An opaque dark garnet red with thick legs and a dark spicy red fruit nose. The palate shows rich dark red plums and cherries with spice and vanilla. Dry and full-bodied with a dark fruit finish.

Matt Steeves rated this wine as 93/100 with the following review:

Deep ruby with an opaque core, dark berries, black sage, fig on the nose. The palate is absolutely lovely! Plum, black cherry, fig, dark chocolate, baking spice, and sage lead to a long dark chocolate and sweet spice finish. 93 points. Tasted March 2015. Matt Steeves - www.quercusvino.ca
