Backyard Vineyards Gossip 2012
British Columbia, CanadaGossip is a blend of big reds: 28/25/25/22 cabernet sauvignon, merlot, syrah and cabernet franc. The style is modern New World with lots of spicy oak and rich black fruits. The good news is the wine is clean and well made. Look for plenty cassis and black fruit aromas and flavours with a dollop of vanilla in the finish. Ripe round and spicy with a bit of acidity pushing through the back end. This needs some tome to settle down. Drink now with grilled meats.Tasted: 10 March 2016Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:BC | $14.04 | 750ml | winery direct, private and VQA wine shops |
