The Hatch Hatchchild 2016
Osoyoos, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaI like that The Hatch admit growing cabernet sauvignon in the Okanagan is a challenge. This one comes out of Monarch Vineyard from the sandy soils of Osoyoos, perhaps the warmest of all Okanagan sub-regions. There is a sense of wildness on the highly aromatic nose, including some green, eucalyptus notes. The colour is deep, the palate silky, the flavours a cedary, leafy cassis affair that is going to need some time to blossom fully and shed some oak. This is an alternative to the ripe chocolate style of so many cabernets coming out of Washington and California. Break out the cheese, for now, or a well-marbled steak.Tasted: 06 September 2019Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:| BC | $33.33 | 750ml | cellar door, select private retailers, restaurants |
