WineScores' Review

Succulent, velvety, complete.
A limited number of bottles of this estate-grown Syrah were produced - it's one of Quails' Gate's 25th Anniversary Edition label wines, sold only via the winery.
Syrah has a unique expression in the Okanagan, it shows its savoury side here for sure. The Boswell is equally so but with some time has evolved into this ripe and chocolaty version with white pepper and cashew, smoked meat, iodine, wild herbs and espresso woven with black raspberry and black cherry aromas. Succulent and smooth, woven and complex, it is rich, powerful and lengthy.

Recommended Pairings
Rich Meats , Barbeque, Cheese - Hard/Aged, Good First Impressions, Cellar Keepers

Visit My Sister Site WineDiva.ca was launched prior to WineScores, in February 2004. WineDiva is the alter ego of Daenna Van Mulligen. She wears a cork tiara and is proof that a girl can have her w(h)ine and drink it too! WineDiva.ca is a tongue-in-cheek approach to a very serious passion for all things wine. WineDiva’s goal is to make wine fun, subtly educational & deviously inspirational. Vintage reciting wine snobs need not apply. WineDiva is painting the wine world pink and drinking it all in, and her glass is always (at least) half-full.	What is WineScores? WineScores is the more serious follow up to WineDiva.ca. WineScores was born from the demand to see wine writer Daenna Van Mulligen provide scores on her wine reviews. These are numerical scores based on a 100 point scale – an internationally recognized form of rating wines. These numbers provide a snapshot for consumers on how the wine reviewer views the overall quality of the wine. For more information on scoring wine, go to “about”.	We Protect Your Privacy We do not share your email address with anyone. Your email address will be used for the WineDiva newsletter You can opt out of receiving the newsletter anytime.
