Sumac Ridge Meritage Black Sage Vineyard 1997

Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaLovely toasted oak and spice with peppery, licorice berry tones. Lots of smoky oak, tobacco, spicy flavours and mocha. Slightly dry, lean and tannic in the finish. Needs time to settle down. Reminds us just a bit of the Estancia style but lighter extract.Tasted: 01 March 2000Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:
