Noble Ridge King's Ransom Cabernet Sauvignon 2015

Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaThe super hot 2015 vintage has left an imprint on this cabernet with intense and ripe black and red fruit, and ample tannins tugging this wine along to a warm (15 degrees) finish. With a majority of Okanagan Falls estate fruit, along with what we surmise is a potent injection of south Okanagan fruit, this spent two years in French (75 percent) and American oak (25 percent), 80 percent of which was new. Thick and overtly ripe fruit mixes with leather, cigar and dark chocolate, finishing with a kiss of smoke. This giant, youthful, structural wine is best realized with a decant and rib eye now and hopefully will resolve with three to five years bottle ageing.Tasted: 03 November 2018Tasted by: Treve Ring & Anthony GismondiPrices:
