Tightrope Winery Equipoise 2016
Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaEquipose is a mix of Naramata merlot (40%), syrah (40%) and cabernet franc (20%) made from small lot ferments cold-soaked for five days and macerated for three weeks. It is all aged in French oak, and half of the wood is new. As you might expect, the aromas and flavours are intense, evoking black fruits, cherries, plums and blackberries, dusted in vanilla and pipe tobacco. The palate is soft, and the tannins well managed. You can drink this now if you like a rambunctious, fruity style, but it is worth laying this down for a couple of years until it fully comes together. Love the 13.8 percent alcohol. A classic red made for lamb chops, roasted lamb, or roasted fall vegetables.Tasted: 27 June 2019Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:| BC | $45.00 | 750ml | winery direct |
