Black Sage Vineyard Pipe 2008

Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaPipe a fortified wine made in the south Okanagan is a blend of cabernet sauvignon, merlot and cabernet franc. Grain spirit is used to stop the fermentation and turn this into a 19 percent LBV style port. It's been aged in neutral oak for more than three years. All in all a solid effort if a little bit too oxidised. The fruit is figgy and sweet and would be fine with chocolate or nutty cakes but a pinch cleaner fruit would really take this to a higher level.Tasted: 06 April 2014Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:
