Calliope Merlot - Cabernet Sauvignon 2001

Osoyoos, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaVery spicy, peppery, resiny, cassis leaf aromas with some vanilla. Dry, round, elegant style with vanilla, smoky butter and resiny flavours streaked with peppery, tobacco and a touch of cassis. Quite Bordelais and balanced but could use a bit more fruit. The blend is 85/15 merlot/cabernet sauvignon whose cap is hand plunged during ferment and then basket pressed before spending 14 months in wood.Tasted: 20 November 2003Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:
