Five Vineyards by Mission Hill Cabernet Merlot 2015
Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaThis is not my favourite BC blend. The cabernet is always harder and drier then the merlot and even in a warm year like 2015, it remains the case. It’s the awkward angles you notice first, from the acidity to the dry tannins. The black and red fruits are spicy, but the flavours are short and choppy, requiring a juicy grilled hamburger to tone it down and pull it all together.Tasted: 06 October 2018Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:BC | $16.99 | 750ml | BCLS |
