Quails' Gate Cabernet Sauvignon 2015
Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaDusty, sticky tannins frame this cabernet sauvignon sourced from the slopes of their estate Mount Boucherie vineyards. After a month-long native ferment, this spent 18 months in French oak. The warmth of the 2015 vintage is apparent, though the firm wood still overrides the density of the fruit at this youthful age. Tobacco, dusty cherry, potent cassis and a wave of earthy resin fills the full body, up to a lingering bitter anise finish. At this young stage, this is best served up with roast beef.Tasted: 21 November 2017Tasted by: Prices:BC | $27.00 | 750ml | winery direct, private wine shops |
