Red Rooster Reserve Malbec 2012

Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaCracked cloves and nutmeg open this unique malbec, sourced from the estate vineyard on the Naramata Bench. Under the spice box, black plums, blackberry jam and cracked peppercorns. The full, plump palate is potent with the same, along with sweet smoke, black cherry compote and lingering vanilla, black pepper and dried blueberries. Ample tannins are a touch chewy and acidity is moderate - pour with beef ribs or brisket for best results.Tasted: 13 April 2015Tasted by: Prices:
