Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaA near 53/47 split of zinfandel/shiraz make up this round, mouth filling and rich red, a unique blend for the Okanagan. Eighteen months in French and American oak amps up the intensity while softening the mouthfeel - this is as plush and velvety as can be. Fortunately there is a nice spike of raspberry piquancy to lift the weight. Dollops of blackberry jam, ripe cherries, cloves, vanilla and dark chocolate pull right through to the sort if sticky, spiced finish. Fine for barbecue saucy short ribs, venison or braised beef.Tasted: 30 July 2015Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Treve RingPrices:BC | $34.95 | 750ml | BCLS |
