Spierhead Vanguard 2010

Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaBig minty, leafy, black olive, coffee, vanilla, chocolate, tobacco leaf aromas. Dry, fresh, round palate with light tannins. Very oaky, smoky coffee, vanilla, tobacco leaf, olive, green bean, peppery, menthol flavours. Finish is dry with some tea tannins and oak to shed. The textures are well done and with time the oak should dissipate to reveal more fruit and terroir.Tasted: 17 January 2013Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:
