CedarCreek Meritage 2015
Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaThe heart of this 38/37/20/5/ blend of malbec, merlot, cabernet sauvignon and cabernet franc is the super warm Haynes Creek vineyard in Osoyoos. Winemaker Whelan loves the jammy, blueberry notes the desert malbec brings to this black fruit scented red. The attack is riot of floral, cedar, tobacco notes with a touch of stony minerality to keep it linear. The tannins stretch out in fine-grained fashion adding depth and complexity without dryness. Love the fruit, spice and persistence in what is a youthful wine. I’m told there will be a package change and this fine wine is a good example why it’s needed. Best with grilled meats or mushroom dishes for the moment but I would wait three years for the real show.Tasted: 05 September 2018Tasted by: Prices:| BC | $24.99 | 750ml | winery direct, BC/AB: private wine shops, restaurants |
