Sumac Ridge Cabernet Merlot Private Reserve 2017
Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaThis is straightforward stuff made for current drinking and in a style that will have its appeal to those who like reds soft and ripe. The fruit is overtly ripe, showing sweet black fruit jam, tobacco, and and smoky, toasted oak. Smooth, round, sweet and slippery, this is an easy red, and it is entirely ready to go. The finish follows on with a brush of tannins and more sweet maple and blueberry. Hamburgers are the match.Tasted: 04 June 2019Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:BC | $15.49 | 750ml | BCLS |
