Van Westen Vineyards Voluptuous 2014
Naramata Bench, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaPerfumed and potent black plum, blackberry jam, violet pastilles, black coffee on a thick, hard pressed palate. Merlot and cabernet franc is tight along this full bodied Naramata red, with chalky/gritty tannins, earthy notes, biscuit, pipe tobacco, and black liquorice. There's a luxurious savoury note and feel, but wood overrides all at this stage. With time, this will relax. At present, drink with grilled meats.Tasted: 30 January 2018Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:BC | $26.00 | 750ml | winery direct and private wine shops march '06 |
