Black Hills Nota Bene 2009
Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaA much welcomed hint of ripeness helps to supress Nota Bene's signature herby resiny characters. I know green wines are fashionable but underripe is never attractive in this cabernet sauvignon dominated blend. Expect a fairly smooth entry of red fruits and resiny leafy notes with flecks of cassis and plums. Tannins are well managed and soft with a medium long, earthy finish. Best we've tasted in years.Tasted: 01 January 2012Tasted by: Prices:BC | $53.00 | 750ml | winery direct and private wine shops |
