Van Westen Vineyards V 2012

Naramata Bench, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaThis dense blend of merlot, cabernet franc, malbec, cabernet sauvignon, petit verdot opens with inky lacquer, black cherry, black raspbery and heady wild blackberry. The density continues on the palate, with deep and brooding spice and dark florals plumped around big, gripppy tannins and lifted with moderately fresh acidity. Florals and ink closes out the lingering, spicy finish.Tasted: 07 August 2015Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:
