Hester Creek Limited Edition The Judge 2010
Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaAfter eight years, the 2010 remains slightly lifted on the nose, with aromatic peppery black cherry notes, and with the oak and vanilla fading into the background. It was a super cool year, but often these are the wines that can go the distance. It’s at a lovely stage now with plenty of dense mouth filling fruit, and only a vestige of tannin at the back end. It’s the first to show some mineral, chalky notes that always helps these big New World reds. Time has been kind to this wine and it still has a few years left to go. Tasted October 16, 2018 at a ten-year vertical at the winery. Aged 24 months in a mix of 75/25 French/American oak. The blend is 45/33/22/ merlot, cabernet franc and cabernet sauvignon.
