Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaYou taste every degree of this southern Okanagan red blend of 80 merlot / 20 cabernet sauvignon. The grapes were destemmed and fermented separately in stainless before blending just after MLF, and then into French and American oak for 15 months. Rich, thick and potent on the palate, ripe and sweet with the Okanagan sun, and spiced and structured and toasty with the overt use of oak. Cedar, mocha and strident wood tannins close this out on the finish. Drink now, with grilled meat or hearty mushroom stews.Tasted: 04 May 2019Tasted by: Prices:
Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaSunRock is a hallowed sight for syrah but the south-west facing vineyard is a heat sink for all the varieties in this Meritage blend that mixes about one third each of cabernet sauvignon, cabernet franc and merlot. The fruit is dark, deep and a bit fresher in 2016. The attack is awash in sweet fruit and tannins with notes of cassis, black cherries, plums, smoke and chocolate. This is New World red with an unabashed soft, spicy, ripe style that is ready to drink. Grilled beef is the match for now.Tasted: 21 December 2018Tasted by: Prices:
