CedarCreek "M" - Madeira Style Wine NV
Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaB.C. Madeira is hardly believable but the CedarCreek M is very close in style to the real thing but this blend varietals 1990 to 1995 has been cooking away for a decade. Look for intense nutty, rancio (rancid butter and raisins) butterscotch aromas mixed with a bit of Vin Santo volatility. Intense toasted hazelnut flavours. Quite an amazing effort and certainly worth trying as a curiosity. Prices:| BC | $65.00 | 750ml |
