Road 13 Fifth Element Red 2015
Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaThis wine is always a bit of a wild, southern monster loved by many and avoided by a similar amount who can't take the heat. A perfect vintage has left it with an abundance of structure and power, as well as its typical 15.1 percent alcohol. The attack is soupy with a cedary undercurrent, dimpled black fruit flavours and warm, summer’s day desert fragrance. The tannins are rich and spiced by the warm alcoholic finish. Best with rosemary rubbed lamb now or wait five years for it to settle down.Tasted: 28 April 2019Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:| BC | $49.00 | 750ml | winery direct, VQA wine shops |
