Van Westen Vineyards Voluptuous 2016

Naramata Bench, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaAnother well made red blend from 2016, this time via a 67/33 merlot and cabernet franc mix off Naramata Bench. The nose is full of black plums and black cherries and black licorice, all of which spills across a palate buoyed by excellent acidity. Supple textures laced with savoury sagebrush notes and a touch of minerality help to keep everything in order in the back end. Youthful and exuberant, it will only get better with time. For now, roast chicken or back ribs would be an excellent match.Tasted: 04 October 2019Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:
