CedarCreek Cabernet Sauvignon Platinum Reserve 2003

Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaSmoky, leafy, cassis, green bean aromas mixed with plenty of black olive, saddle leather and resiny tobacco leaf aromas. Dry, tight palate with cedar-y tannins. Soy, cassis, resiny, stewed tomato, tobacco and pepper flavours. Somewhat rootsy, resiny oak finish with some acidity and dryness showing. Lacks the usual ripeness and balance. Must be a victim of the difficult smoky 2003 vintage.Tasted: 23 August 2006Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:
