About this product

Drink it now or cellar for up to 10 years. No need to decant, but best to open it half an hour before service. Founded by Jim Wyse in the 1990s in the Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, Canada, Burrowing Owl Winery takes its name from an endangered species native to the area. The winery, which owns approximately 140 acres of vineyards, is considered one of the most iconic in the country, thanks in part to its pioneering role in the region's wine industry. Athene is a nearly equal blend of Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon from the estate A8 block located on the Black Sage Bench in Oliver. After hand-selecting and harvesting, the grapes are fermented together to create a harmonious and well-rounded wine. After vinification, the wine ages for a year and a half in a mix of primarily French, but also American and Hungarian oak barrels (one-third new). On the nose, the wine reveals a broad and fragrant aromatic profile with notes of cassis, blueberry, and blackberry, followed by hints of aromatic herbs, pepper, vanilla, and violet. On the palate, it is intense, full-bodied, and supple, with firm, smooth tannins and a well-defined, refreshing acidity. The finish is long and recalls notes of chocolate and a touch of minerality. Try it with grilled steak or roasted porcini mushrooms.
