John Schreiner-92 points, Graham and Lyndsay O’Rourke learned their winemaking skills in New Zealand before the Canadians moved to British Columbia. Together, they have created one of the most dynamic wineries in the province. This Syrah uses grapes from the warm Naramata Bench near Penticton. On the aromas, this provides notes of wild game meats and ripe plum. On the palate, it shows off flavors of huckleberry, vanilla cream and a sprinkling of cocoa powder. It’s all backed by remarkable structure that allows the flavors to dance across the palate. -Ken Robertson, chief of judges at the 2016 Cascadia Wine Competition.
