River Stone Stones Throw 2014

Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaRiver Stone is a small estate winery operating south of McIntyre Bluff in the south Okanagan Valley. The Stones Throw red blend is all estate fruit grown at the River Rock Vineyards, surrounding the Oliver winery. In 2014 the acidity remains prominent, giving the entry a definite linear bent. The attack is savoury and warm with black fruits, some obvious vanilla and slightly tuggy tannins. This need a bit of time in bottle but seems a little off-balance when compare to the 2013. Merlot, malbec and cabernet sauvignon are all in the mix. Best now with grilled meats.Tasted: 11 September 2017Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:
