Covert Farms Amicitia 2012

Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaEven if you haven't tried Covert Farms wine, you most likely have eaten their delicious organic produce. This small winery follows organic and biodynamic practices and is located on the stunning 600 acre property. Amicitia [am-ee-CHEE-tee-ah] is Latin for friends, and certainly the organic merlot / cabernet franc / cabernet sauvignon / malbec / petit verdot / syrah in this blend appear harmonious. Cassis, black cherry, dark cocoa, clove and branch aromas. The full bodied, spiced palate carries the same - fragrant cassis and wild blackberry dominating - along ripe, slightly gummy tannins and sweet, spiced wood. Bright black currant acidity lifts the fruit to the lingering finish. Friends indeed, pour this with yours, especially over rich mushroom risotto or beef tenderloin.Tasted: 18 July 2015Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:
