Time Meritage Red 2012
Oliver, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaVersion two of this Meritage blend is 60/29/11 mix of merlot, cabernet sauvignon cabernet franc opens with tobacco, black olive earthy sagebrush nose flecked with cranberry notes. The attack is dry and astringent with spicy, tobacco, cassis fruit with a long warm savoury, vanilla, coffee dried herb finish. Solid, but like last year just a little bit rustic. This will need ‘time’ to bloom in the bottle. Try it now with a steak.Tasted: 31 July 2015Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:BC | $30.00 | 750ml | VQA and private wine shops |
