CedarCreek Cabernet Merlot 2007

Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaThe label says its cabernet/merlot but that 47/28 blend also has 22 cabernet franc, 1.4% pinot noir, 0.5% malbec, 0.4% syrah and 0.3% petit verdot. The fruit comes off eight sites stretching from Kelowna to Osoyoos and includes Naramata. The nose has a floral red fruity component while the palate is awash in spicy oak and pronounced acidity. Youthful and a bit rambunctious it will need time to settle down. We hesitate to say it's a bit too serious for the price so grilled some steaks and drink it now.Tasted: 12 July 2010Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:
