Howling Bluff Sin Cera 2011
Naramata Bench, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaThis merlot/malbec blends comes across full and thick, with powdery tannins carrying ripe, blackberry and black cherry fruit. An undercurrent of cassis, olive, leather and tobacco weaves throughout. Lifted with a rise of tart cherry acidity and finishing with bitter espresso. Somewhat disjointed at present, try pairing with hearty short ribs.Tasted: 28 September 2015Tasted by: Prices:BC | $25.00 | 750ml | winery direct, VQA and private wine shops |
