River Stone Stones Throw 2015
Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaStones Throw is merlot dominant at 69 percent, with 21 percent cabernet sauvignon and 5 percent each petit verdot and malbec. It opens with a savoury, smoky, resinous nose mixed with lifted fruit notes. The attack is full of spicy black fruit, cedar, and rich dense tannins. It was all aged in French oak (one third was new) for fourteen months. Big and bold, we recommend three to five years in the bottle to let the wine reach its maximum development or serve now with grilled meats.Tasted: 22 August 2018Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:BC | $28.90 | 750ml | winery direct, private wine shops |
