Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaBig friendly coffee, vanilla, oaky aromas with sage, licorice, meaty, blueberry and tobacco aromas. Dry, fresh, slightly austere but full palate with light, gritty tannins. Smoky, espresso, vanilla, peppery, meaty, savoury, prune and leather flavours. A bit dry and oaky but lots of intensity. Needs a few years in bottle but offers terrific value.
