Wine Profile
Tasting Notes
Deliciously ripe aromas of blackberry, raspberry, and cherry kirsch which mingle with alluring notes of vanilla, sweet tobacco, leather and clove. On the palate, delight in flavours of black cherry, boysenberry, white pepper and a hint of black olive.
Vineyard Notes
Certified organic Syrah grown lovingly at Ron Firman’s Spadefoot Toad Vineyard in Oliver, BC. Ron tends his small vineyard like a garden, carefully applying compost to each individual wine and breeding spadefoot toads in his irrigation channels for natural pest control.
Winemaker Notes
Raised for 35 months in neutral oak barriques. Unfined and unfiltered.
Food Pairing Notes
A classic match for roast lamb, or try with Chinese BBQ duck or pepper-crusted beef.

It was love at first sip. I had to order another bottle and let’s just say the next time it is opened there will be fewer invited, lol! A truly delicious and complex wine. The notes of pepper won over everyone who enjoyed it. MmmMmm!
