Osoyoos, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaThe blend of 57/21/11/11 merlot, sangiovese, cabernet sauvignon and cabernet franc is big, dry and almost brawny with some grippy tannins. The attack is warm and acidic with savoury, twiggy, spicy black fruit with a long warm finish. If you like big, spicy hot reds this one is for you. We prefer a bit more finesse. Best now with grilled beef ribs.Tasted: 02 August 2016Tasted by: Prices:

Osoyoos, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaMerlot, sangiovese, cabernet sauvignon and cabernet franc from the south Okanagan come together in this alluring Tuscan-inspired red. Black cherry, leather, graphite, dark florals, wild blackberry, and branch are seamlessly intertwined with this full, flowing red. Acidity pulses along structured, supple tannins, finishing with a long tug gf grippy spice, a welcome lingering effect of light filtration. Much more approachable in youth than previous vintages. Even so, decanting is welcome, and helps this density relax further. Drinking beautifully now, but will continue to deepen with 5+ years in the cellar.Tasted: 02 August 2016Tasted by: Prices:
