Burrowing Owl Cabernet Sauvignon 2022
Introduction
Burrowing Owl Cabernet Sauvignon is a premium red wine from Canada, produced in the Okanagan Valley within the Oliver and Osoyoos regions. It is a flagship bottling from Burrowing Owl Estate Winery, one of British Columbia’s most iconic and environmentally conscious producers. Founded by the Wyse family, the estate helped pioneer the region's reputation for world-class Bordeaux varietals. The wine is a classic expression of the Black Sage Bench terroir, which features deep, sandy soils and intense heat, creating the ideal conditions for ripening Cabernet Sauvignon to perfection.
Wine Description
The wine displays a deep, opaque ruby colour with a dark purple core. The aromatic profile is complex and savoury, full of dark fruits, with notes of ripe cassis, blackberry, and black plum, accompanied by the region’s signature hints of dusty sage, dried herbs, roasted red pepper, and graphite. The varietal composition is 100% Cabernet Sauvignon. It is a full-bodied, robust, and intense wine. The palate is rich and structured, with a core of concentrated black fruit supported by firm, ripe tannins and a refreshing acidity that keeps the wine lively. Stylistically, it is a powerful yet polished wine that balances New World ripeness with Old World structure. The wine is matured for 18 months in a combination of French, American, and Hungarian oak barrels. The finish is long and satisfying, with lingering notes of dark chocolate, spice, and cedar.
Food Pairing
This wine is a superb match for a grilled rib-eye steak with black olive butter, rosemary-crusted rack of lamb, or a classic roast beef. Suggested pairings also include braised pork shanks, aged sharp cheddar, or a rich mushroom "Bourguignon."
