Hester Creek Limited Edition The Judge 2008

Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaLast tasted six years ago, bottle ageing has been kind to the 2008, and it has now cast aside its fairly strong, youthful oak over the last decade in bottle. It was definitely one of the more vibrant older vintages in the vertical, offering up a mix of cassis and leather with cedar and tobacco on the nose and a surprisingly elegant palate with fully mature, soft tannins. A mix of smoke and cranberries with a savoury black pepper finish suggest this may be at its peak. Tasted at the winery on October 16, 2018 at a ten-year vertical. Aged 24 months in a mix of 75/25 French/American oak. The blend is 34/33/33/ merlot, cabernet franc and cabernet sauvignon. Growing Degree Days (GDD) 1450Tasted: 30 October 2018Tasted by: Prices:
