Pentâge Winery Pentâge 2012
Skaha Bench, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaThe 2012 Pentâge is a blend of 43 percent cabernet sauvignon, 32 percent cabernet franc, 18 percent merlot, 5 percent petit verdot, 2 percent syrah. Roasted coffee pervades black cherry, green tobacco, branch to a drying, warm finish. Tannins are assertive and pitch-lined, with toasted cedar spicing. Cinnamon bark sticks on the finish. This is a hard-pressed big red that requires roast beef to match.Tasted: 08 December 2017Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:BC | $34.90 | 750ml | winery direct, private wine shops |
