Black Swift Vineyards Hans Estate Cabernet - Syrah 2015
Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaHans Estate Vineyard is located directly below the Mission Hill Oculus block on the East Osoyoos Bench. The blend is a very sexy 50/50 cabernet franc/syrah. The nose has an aromatic, perfumed edge with an exotic, fragrant five-spice/tea note that spills onto the palate. Youthful and slightly rambunctious, there is plenty of ripe fruit to embrace here and nothing grilled beef, lamb, or pork won’t subdue for the moment. Still, I would wait three to five years for the wine to really blossom. Well done.Tasted: 21 February 2019Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:BC | $59.99 | 750ml | winery direct, private wine shops, restaurants |
