Ex Nihilo Privata Proprietary Red Wine 2013
Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaThey don’t hold anything back at Ex Nihilo, except which grapes are in this blend made from fruit grown in the warm southern end of the Okanagan Valley at Osoyoos. The nose is bursting with licorice and savoury black fruit scents. The palate is similarly structure with rich round, warm, spicy black fruit and soya notes with rich lashings of oak. More Napa style than BC but there will be a market for this powerful red. Personally I would lay it down for a decade and let it settle in. One thing we do know, they do not make the blend ‘ex nihilo’.Tasted: 11 September 2017Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:BC | $36.00 | 750ml | winery direct, private wine shops |
