Hester Creek Limited Edition The Judge 2015

Golden Mile Bench, Oliver, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaThe 2015 growing season was the warmest ever at Hester Creek. This wine is fully ripe and the texture long, soft and persistent. Despite the warm year the minerality and chalky notes noted in some earlier versions were poking through the ripe, plummy fruit. This needs time to express its full glory and rich New World style. 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 29.5/38/28.5/2/2 merlot, cabernet franc, cabernet sauvignon, petit verdot and malbec. Growing Degree Days (GDD) 1764.Tasted: 30 October 2018Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:
