Hillside Mosaic 2007
Naramata Bench, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaLike its name Mosaic this wine is a patchwork of varieties whose sum is greater than its parts. Hillsides signature blend mixes merlot, cabernet franc, cabernet sauvignon, malbec and petit verdot. This wine has improved over the years shedding green notes and rough tannins for riper fruit bits of Christmas cake and coffee. The '07 has some elevated acidity, a la Oz, which tends to lean out the finish. Best with grilled meat.Tasted: 08 July 2010Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:BC | $40.00 | 750ml | winery direct |
