Van Westen Vineyards Vulture 2014

Naramata Bench, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaSurprisingly cool and floral on the nose with a light mix of red currants, red cherries and huckleberries. The attack is dry, the tannins sticky, with more plummy, peppery fruit flecked with bits of cumin and dried herbs. This needs food at this point to pull everything together. Try with mushroom dishes, or grilled meats or roasted game birds. Give this another year to gather itself in the bottle for best results.Tasted: 08 November 2017Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:
