CedarCreek Platinum Reserve Meritage 2003
Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaNow quite as ripe as previous version showing peppery, spicy, black olive cassis notes on the nose flecked with green bean and tobacco. The textures are supple if a bit skimpy. On the palate winemaker Tom Di Bello mixes fruit sources to deliver up a peppery, vanilla, cigar box, coffee mocha red with licorice and back cherry. Needs a bit more time in bottle to fatten up.Tasted: 13 August 2006Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:BC | $44.99 | 750ml | winery direct, VQA wine shops |
