Oak Bay Vineyard Gebert Family Reserve Meritage 2014

East Kelowna, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaIn what the family terms ‘special years’, the Gebert clan selects their best lots for reserve ageing in French oak. I must say I’m impressed with the recent winemaking and grapes going to the reserve program and the 2014 might be the best yet. Linear but with a modicum of richness, this black cherry-scented red offers up a wealth of tobacco, wet earth and coffee flavours with a few young aggressive tannins drying out the back end. This needs another two to three years in bottle, or if you must, open it with roasted meats.Tasted: 24 April 2018Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:
