CedarCreek Meritage 2015
Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaDusky plum, blackberry, wild blueberry, and cassis flushes this southern Okanagan blend of malbec, merlot, cabernet sauvignon, and cabernet franc. Cedar, tobacco, rock salts, violets, season the fuller palate. You can feel the sunbaked warmth of Osoyoos in the mid-palate, though the rest of the wine works well to keep that heft in check. Velvet tannins snuggle the deep blue/black fruit through the charcoal kissed finish. This was fermented in stainless before twenty months in French oak barriques. There's a lot of a lot (fruit, spice, intensity, finesse) that works very well. This is drinking well now, especially with grilled mushrooms, and will for the next few years.Tasted: 14 August 2018Tasted by: Prices:| BC | $24.99 | 750ml | winery direct, BC/AB: private wine shops, restaurants |
