| Burrowing Owl's Syrahs are perennially powerful, rich, intense wines that offer tremendous depth and complexity to the aromas and flavours of black fruit and spice with mocha accents. They are also noted for their texture, balance and length. A great wine from one of BC's most recognized estates. The 2012 Burrowing Owl Syrah was awarded a Gold Medal at the 2015 Syrah du Monde in France - the only Canadian wine to earn a medal at this competition. |
