Road 13 Rockpile 2008

Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaRockpile is a supple, tasty blend of red fruit grown in the South Okanagan. In all 13 vineyard blocks contributed eight varieties of grapes to the blend from both Black Sage Bench and Golden Mile Bench. Look for a cedar-y dried herb aroma and a similar spicy, savoury, cedar-y black fruit palate flecked with dried herbs. Drinkable now but should improve over the next two years under screwcap.Tasted: 11 May 2010Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:
