Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaFrom the well-situated Vanessa Vineyard in the Similkameen Valley comes this coffee-kin cabernet sauvignon, cabernet franc and merlot blend. Black cherry joins coffee on the nose and continues through the dense palate, along with spicy blackberry, red currant, tobacco, thorny branch and a lick of dark florals. Tannins are astringent and the finish is ragged. Try pouring with ragu sauced rustic pastas.Tasted: 15 May 2015Tasted by: Prices:

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:
