Cassini Cellars Nobilus Merlot Grand Reserve Bella Vineyard 2013
Osoyoos, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaGolden Mile Bench merlot is the story here along with a cooler 2013 growing season whose extended hang time adds a fragrance to the nose. On the palate, the oak and alcohol kicks in mixing with blueberries, vanilla and sweet milk chocolate notes. The finish is spicy with a fair bit of tannin yet to be resolved. Best now with grilled meats or hard cheeses. The wine was aged for 24 months in new French oak and you can feel it. Old style for sure but it will have its fans.Tasted: 31 March 2017Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:| BC | $40.00 | 750ml | winery direct |
