Upper Bench Cabernet Sauvignon Estate Grown 2014

Naramata Bench, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaThis wine continues to impress considering Naramata must be the northern limit for cabernet sauvignon in all but the hottest Okanagan years. The 2014 vintage was a good one and the fruit, while fully ripe, has a wonderful red fruit character and plenty of acidity which impresses. Bright and aromatic, the wood is in better form this year and the tannins are more finessed leaving the rich, red, savoury fruit and spice to entice. You could drink this now or wait three to five years for a fully mature model. Well done.Tasted: 21 November 2017Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:
