The Hatch Dynasty Red 2016
Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaThis Dynasty is a made from select blocks grown at two formidable Osoyoos vineyards, Monarch and Hans Estate. The blend was syrah, malbec and merlot in 2016 and it’s all aged in new French barriques for 18 months. There is lavishness here that will attract a certain crowd now, but I would wait five to seven years to let this wine and this vintage show what it has. Winemaker Jason Parkes likes what the syrah and malbec add to the merlot. Syrah adds structure, black pepper and boysenberry, while malbec rounds out the blend with black cherry charm and luscious pluminess. Both also contribute fragrance. I am sticking with my previous chops recommendation, either beef, lamb or pork.Tasted: 08 November 2018Tasted by: Prices:| BC | $46.99 | 750ml | winery direct, private wine shops, restaurants |
