Clos du Soleil Célestiale 2015

British Columbia, CanadaCelestiale is one of the winery's Bordeaux blends, combining fruit from Keremeos and Cawston in the Similkameen, with fruit from Osoyoos in the southern Okanagan. This year it's a blend of 54/32/7/7 cabernet sauvignon / merlot / cabernet franc / malbec, all harvested and vinified separately, and then barrel aged in French oak for 15 months. Soft cassis, blackberry jam is seasoned with whiffs of charcoal, wintermint, black pepper across a savoury palate to a warm finish. Tannins are plush and sticky, and acidity is en pointe, making for a serious, and seriously drinkable classic red now. Impressive.Tasted: 18 May 2019Tasted by: Prices:
