CedarCreek Merlot Platinum Reserve 2001
Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaTobacco, spicy, minty, Worcestershire sauce nose with streaks of dill and clove with cherry and smoky barnyard nuances in the background. Elegant, round a fairly supple with light, dry tannins. Nice spicy, clove, rosemary, black cherry jam flavours with more smoky vanilla, tobacco and dill on the aftertaste. The finish is somewhat dry with a touch of acidity but this should improve over the next year or two. Good effort.Tasted: 12 November 2003Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:BC | $39.99 | 750ml | VQA Wine Stores |
