Sumac Ridge Meritage Black Sage Vineyard 1999

Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaA blend of cabernet sauvignon, merlot and cabernet franc offers up a spicy, peppery clove nose with leathery blackberry aromas and more of that south Okanagan minty, sagebrush, garrigue aroma. Soft and reasonably elegant on the mid-palate. Not a great deal of fruit but enough to hold your interest and a fine peppery finish. Best with food. Winery, beer and wine stores, restaurants, and VQA stores.Tasted: 01 March 2002Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:
