Le Vieux Pin 2021 Equinoxe Syrah The 2021 Équinoxe Syrah is comprised of fruit grown in multiple plots throughout the South Okanagan Valley. A traditionally made Syrah in the sense that the sum is considered greater than its parts. The resulting effort is a very complex wine with dark garnet colour that perfectly and effortlessly combines elements of both the old-world and the new-world styles. This monumental wine has grace and power, spice and florals, gamy and savoury notes. Yin and yang come together to showcase a perfectly balanced Syrah. Compared to 2018 or 2019, the 2021 Equinoxe Syrah is fuller, richer, deeper and more expansive. White peppercorn pokes its head out in an otherwise mostly black peppercorn and floral-dominated profile (thanks to nearly 2% Viognier co-fermentation). With time in the glass, more wild floral notes come to the foreground. #barbararestaurant #vancouverrestaurant #bcwines #chinatownvancouver #barbaravancouver

Esquimalt Smoked Apéritif Cascadia Made from mead, Esquimalt Apéritif’s Cascadia is a love-letter to Vancouver Island. Sweet and smokey, this apéritif is bursting with berries, brine and pine, highlighting the vibrant botanicals growing on the unceded territories of the Coast Salish People.
 The Cascadia apéritif style is defined by its use of Sitka Alder as the primary botanical and bittering agent as well as its exclusive use of botanical species native to Vancouver Island and the Pacific Northwest. 
This has notes of alderwood smoke backed by subtle stone fruit and juniper. Sweet smoke is balanced with light pine citrus acidity followed by forest berries and briney salt. Extremely distinct yet surprisingly versatile, find this spirit looming vibrantly in our new ‘Worship and Tribute’ cocktail. #barbararestaurant #vancouverrestaurant #bcwines #chinatownvancouver #barbaravancouver
