The Hatch Hatchchild 2014
Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaA nice improvement this year thanks to a fruit source change from the Oliver Inkameep Vineyard to what the Hatch boys describe as “the sandy streets of East Osoyoos”, better known as Hans Estate Vineyard. Plenty of heat units should ensure physiological or phenolic ripeness but there is no mistaking the varietal, leafy, cassis fruit aromas and flavours. The tannins are well managed and seem to be appropriate for the warm, peppery finish. Best now with cheese or grilled meats, or wait three-to-five years for the oak to settle in and the wine to find its feet.Tasted: 23 January 2018Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:| BC | $33.99 | 750ml | winery direct, restaurants |
