Is it just me or are more and more wineries in Ontario making Syrah? And not just that, but they’re actually getting Syrah right; that’s pretty impressive in our cool climate (where we don’t make Shiraz). This single vineyard / single soil version from Coyote’s Red Paw plot smells smoky and meaty with blueberry and cassis aromas followed on the palate by an earthy character and flavoured with white pepper, smoky and toasty notes; grippy and gritty tannins that finishes with raspberry, white pepper and fine acidity. Only 111 cases made. Price: $24.95 - Rating: ****+
