Van Westen Vineyards Voluptuous 2012

Naramata Bench, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaThe 2012, like the 2011 is voluptuous. The mix is 67/33 merlot/cabernet franc. You will love the dense, rich, chalky, full palate awash in savoury, dark plum fruit, licorice and chocolate flavours that persist from front to back. The finish is glossy, spicy and layered with impressive fruit. As young as this is it has a big future if you can wait – we think another five to seven years. A magical Naramata red.Tasted: 24 December 2015Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:
