Sandhill Small Lots Program Two Sandhill Estate Vineyard 2004

Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaTobacco, spicy, Band-Aid, minty coffee nose with vanilla and green olive undercurrents. Dry, tight, somewhat tannic entry. Very smoky, vanilla, cedar-y, tobacco leaf, saddle leather, cassis flavours with smoky, resiny finish. Tannins and structure are a bit too lean and light with some green notes. Will need a few years in bottle to round out but the fruit component is low. 269 small lots blend 67/25/8 per cent cabernet sauvignon, merlot and cabernet franc.Tasted: 22 February 2007Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:
