Sandhill Cabernet Merlot Vanessa Vineyard 2012

Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaPeppery, earthy, tobacco, chocolate, menthol, licorice, coffee and cassis aromas. Dry, fresh, elegant but somewhat tight palate with fresh acidity. Coffee, milk chocolate, olive, cassis, tobacco leaf, savoury, vanilla and tomato paste flavours. Finish has some rustic, dry tannins with acidity emphasizing the astringency. Needs a few years to soften but will need meat as an accompaniment. Chunky as per the last edition.Tasted: 07 January 2015Tasted by: Prices:
