Upper Bench Altitude Merlot Cabernet Sauvignon Limited Release 2015

Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaAltitude is the newest wine at Upper Bench, and likely their best. The blend is 75% merlot and 25% cabernet sauvignon, but the difference here is this wine displays the elegance and class you expect from a top tier red for $46. Plums and black cherries dominate with just a touch of milk chocolate, spice and oak. Still just a baby, but the parts are all here to let this age effortlessly for the next five to seven years. A stylish New World red that works with a variety of grilled meats or cheeses.Tasted: 26 June 2019Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:
