Burrowing Owl Cabernet Sauvignon 2017
Oliver, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaFrom estate vineyards in Oliver and Osoyoos, this structural red was built through 18 months in oak (85% French, 15% Hungarian, and 25% new). Cedar staves, dark cherry, wild cassis and dark cherry fill this muscular red, scented with graphite and pencil lead, and shaped by long, fine, but youthfully raging tannins. Quite warm on the Okanagan scrub finish, though along with the tannins, this will mellow with a couple of years.Tasted: 10 March 2020Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:BC | $35.00 | 750ml | winery direct, private and VQA wine shops |
