Van Westen Vineyards Voluptuous 2006

Naramata Bench, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaThe 06 Voluptuous is a 67 33 merlot/cabernet franc blend. The nose offers up a sweet vanilla and cherry aromas with bits of resin, earth and tobacco. The entry is dry and round with medicinal, cherry fruit flavours and slightly rougher, gripp-y tannins. A bit rustic for the varieties involved but will no doubt soften with another year or two in bottle. Will be best with grill beef entrées.Tasted: 21 February 2010Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:
