Naramata Bench, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaCedar, resin, smoky oak, black olive, tobacco leaf, tea leaf, prune, earthy, vanilla, cassis and rustic/wild aromas. The attack is dry and elegant with light, firm tannins. Smoky oak, cedar, coffee, tobacco leaf, cassis, cranberry, chocolate, vanilla, and liquorice root flavours. Balanced but shows cool fruit characters and a big dose of oak. Give it 2-3 years to integrate. The 'futures' release price is a modest $35.Tasted: 07 February 2012Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:
