The Syndicate is a distinguished Bordeaux-style blend crafted by Black Market in the heart of Canada’s Okanagan Valley, a region renowned for its unique microclimates and diverse terroir. This wine combines carefully selected grape varietals, primarily Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Cabernet Sauvignon, to create a rich and balanced expression. The Okanagan’s hot, arid climate with cool nights allows for exceptional ripening, producing grapes with concentrated flavors and good acidity. The winemaking process includes meticulous hand harvesting and sorting to ensure only the highest quality fruit is used. Each varietal is vinified separately and aged in French oak barrels for 18 months, imparting subtle cedar and spice notes that complement the fruit profile. The Syndicate has received acclaim for its depth and structure, making it a standout offering from Black Market.
