Culmina Family Estate Dilemma 2016
Golden Mile Bench, Oliver, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaSourced from high up on Golden Mile Bench, this is from Culmina's Margaret Bench and Dijon clones 95 and 76. In 2016, this was approximately one third MLF, one third new French oak, one third stainless, and all with nine months in barrel. Yellow apple, perfumed peach, nutmeg, hazelnut, kissed with almond blossoms on a deep, creamy, downy lees core, sided with firm wood and holding ample extract on the finish. Here in youth, quite overt, but with ample rich food-pairing prowess. I'd love to see this bench with less ripeness, and more precison in future to take it next level.Tasted: 22 October 2018Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:| BC | $26.00 | 750ml | winery direct |
