Laughing Stock Vineyards Portfolio 2007

Naramata Bench, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaPeppery, espresso, smoky oak, black olive, tobacco leaf, floral, dried savoury herbs, cassis aromas. The entry is round and dry but this year it's a bit tart too. The rest of the palate is super smooth with warm smoky coffee scented flavours flecked with vanilla, tobacco leaf, pepper, dill and black olives. The texture is the best yet but the finish is very oaky and warm. It will improve with time but we want more pristine Okanagan fruit and less French wood.Tasted: 20 January 2010Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:
