C.C. Jentsch The Chase 2013
Golden Mile Bench, Oliver, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaThe Chase mix is 32.5/32.5/30/3/2/ cabernet sauvignon/ cabernet franc/merlot/petit verdot/malbec all grown in a terrific season, save for a late season hail storm along the Golden Mile Bench that damaged canopies and west side fruit panels. After a meticulous sort, the fruit got a seven-day, cold maceration prior to ferment. This well-balanced beauty of a blend has it all: gushes of juicy red raspberry and cherry fruit and a hint of cocoa and vanilla, all enrobed with a wisp of smoke. Medium tannin and acidity, decent fruit and spice makes this a winner for both grilled meats and harder cheeses.Tasted: 13 April 2017Tasted by: Prices:| BC | $19.90 | 750ml | winery direct, VQA and private wine shops |
