Naramata Bench, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaCedar, pruny/ coffee, tobacco leaf nose with saddle leather and vanilla notes. Dry, elegant but tight palate with some lean, hard tannins. Peppery, prune, coffee, dried herb flavours with bits of black olive, resin, and cranberry and red liquorice root flavours. Has purity but the finish is too astringent and hard. Needs 2-4 years to soften.Tasted: 01 September 2010Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:
