LaStella Classico D’Osoyoos 2018
Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaThis new wine comes from a single Osoyoos vineyard sloping towards the lake and blends sangiovese with cabernet franc, cabernet sauvignon, and merlot. Bottled unfined and lightly filtered, this pours a slightly dusky hue, leading into alluring espresso, black cherries, cassis, peonies, dried roses, and thorns, riding out the medium-bodied palate. Tannins are slight and slightly grippy, leaving a lingering desert scrub in their wake. A serious, savoury, deftly handled red that is ideal for drinking now and over the next few years. This tastes of Osoyoos, a new Osoyoos classic.Tasted: 20 June 2020Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:BC | $40.00 | 750ml | winery direct |
