Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaDeep cherry colour. Big cooked cherry, vanilla, earthy, plum jam, barnyard, smoky leather nose. Dry, rich, somewhat tannic entry with stewed plum, chocolate, vanilla, peppery, earthy flavours. Very warm with a somewhat tannic, alcoholic finish. Will improve in the bottle but lacks clean fruit characters to age with style.Tasted: 05 April 2005Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:BC | $29.90 | 750ml | VQA wine shops |
