Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaWinemaker Ross Wise will be fine-tuning Addendum going forward, reducing the oak influence and making it a cabernet sauvignon/cabernet franc blend, but for 2017 there is merlot in the mix. The wine is aged in 35 percent new French oak for a year. The attack is again rich and round with black fruit and toasted oak dominating the palate, and some tannins yet to disperse in the back end. It really needs time to pull it together and shed some sweet oak notes. Serve now with grilled meats or wait five years for it all to come together.Tasted: 12 July 2019Tasted by: Prices:

Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaSmokey! This big red reflects both the conditions of a forest-fire-fuelled vintage, and the rich Black Sage Bench blend of merlot, cabernet sauvignon and cabernet franc aged for a year in French oak, 35 percent new. Stalky green vines, thorns, black cherry jam, ripe cassis are smothered with toasted oak and surrounded by grippy oak tannins. Very disjointed at present, this requires something like roast beef and all the fixings to mitigate.Tasted: 21 February 2019Tasted by: Prices:
