CedarCreek Cabernet Merlot 2013
Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaThis Cabernet Merlot is actually predominantly merlot (58 percent) with 18/16/8 cabernet franc/cabernet sauvignon/malbec to prop up. Potent anise, cassis and stewed vanilla black fruits are hemmed in with strident cedar planked tannins and dusted with bitter black cocoa and heady cloves which overwhelm the finish. Bold and rustic, best served up with rich beef stew.Tasted: 06 July 2016Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:BC | $17.99 | 750ml | BCLS, winery, VQA stores |
