Van Westen Vineyards Voluptuous 2011

Naramata Bench, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaThe 2011 Voluptuous is, well, voluptuous to say the least. The mix is 67/33 merlot/cabernet franc. The attack is quite dense and mouth filling with plums, black cherries, licorice and pepper previewing a swatch of garrigue and graphite. Long rich and layered this wine is hardly awake yet. A monumental effort for Rob Van Westen that will need five to seven years to fully express it potential. Climate change is upon us.Tasted: 03 July 2015Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:
