Van Westen Vineyards Voluptuous 2003

Naramata Bench, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaBig smoky, sweet vanilla, oak, cherry kirsch, tobacco, lifted volatile nose. Very warm and dry with a slightly astringent entry. The flavours mix stewed tomato, smoky, resiny oak, saddle leather, pepper and prunes. Quite astringent, dry finish with some rustic notes. There's potential here; the challenge is to get physiological ripeness in the grapes.Tasted: 07 February 2006Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:
