Van Westen Vineyards Voluptuous 2004

Naramata Bench, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaVoluptuous is merlot with one third cabernet franc. The nose is a smoky, tobacco affair with just a touch barnyard. The entry is dry with the textures gripp-y with mostly ripe fruit flecked with bits of dried herbs and pepper. Not as dry as last year, thankfully, and with a bit more fruit. Definitely tracking in the right direction.Tasted: 06 October 2007Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:
