Burrowing Owl Malbec 2016
Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaMalbec is a rarity in the Okanagan Valley, but where it does rise up, it usually does so expertly. Case in point is this estate BOV Malbec, with fruit from Oliver and Osoyoos. After starting ferment in stainless, this moved into barrel (90% French, 10% American, 53% new) for MLF and aging, over a period of 18 months. Blueberry, dark cherry, and walnut are wrapped around a plump core, wrapped with long and lightly sticky tannins. The wood and tannins are very well integrated into the fruit at this point, taking this to a lingering spiced sage finish.Tasted: 10 March 2020Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:| ON | $40.00 | 750ml | consignment |
