Tasting Note
Burrowing Owl Malbec is rich, dark-fruited, and beautifully structured. Aromas of blackberry, plum, and black cherry are layered with notes of violets, cocoa, and subtle spice. The palate is full-bodied and polished, delivering concentrated dark fruit, supple tannins, and a savoury edge that adds depth and balance. Smooth yet powerful, it finishes long with hints of mocha and mineral freshness—an expressive, South Okanagan Malbec with elegance and poise.
About the Winery, Production & Critical Reputation
Burrowing Owl Estate Winery is one of Canada’s most respected producers, known for meticulous vineyard practices and consistently high-quality reds from the warm desert-like terroir of Oliver. Their Malbec benefits from long hang time to build colour and flavour, followed by careful oak aging to refine texture without masking varietal character. Critics regularly praise Burrowing Owl’s Malbec for its depth, balance, and age-worthiness, often scoring it in the low-to-mid 90s. It stands as a benchmark example of Canadian Malbec—structured, polished, and unmistakably Okanagan.
