Van Westen Vineyards Voluptuous 2013

Naramata Bench, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaIt is hard to believe but the 2013 may be more voluptuous than the 11 and 12. The blend is the same as last year at 67/33 merlot/cabernet franc. The nose is a fragrant blue and black fruit affair, the attack again dense, chalky, savoury and rich with pepper, plums, violets and licorice spice. This is a huge wine in the glass and will need time to settle in. Like its predecessors, you will have to wait five years for this to show its ultimate picture. But it will be a good one. Not a lot of finesse but most everything else works.Tasted: 10 October 2016Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:
