Hester Creek Limited Edition The Judge 2009

Golden Mile Bench, Oliver, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaPerhaps the least likeable on the nose, ’09 with low fruit and more resiny notes reflects a cool vintage that required a lot of attention in the vineyard. Leaf-dropping and bunch thinning were mandatory. In the end, the crop was small, and at this point the best part of this wine is the texture, but unfortunately the wood (vanilla) is dominating. No need to wait if you are cellaring this one. Tasted October 16, 2018 at a ten-year vertical at the winery. Aged 24 months in a mix of 75/25 French/American oak. The blend is 42/32/26/ merlot, cabernet franc and cabernet sauvignon. Growing Degree Days (GDD) 1630.Tasted: 30 October 2018Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:
