Painted Rock Cabernet Sauvignon 2017
Skaha Bench, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaOld World restraint on the nose slowly draws you into the glass where the savoury desert scrub, spice, and black fruit scents sit on a measured scent of oak (30 percent new barrels). Rich but with some elegance early on, it is packed full of spicy back fruit, licorice, sage, and espresso. Just a baby, but very well constructed and will emerge equally balanced another six to eight years down the road. Impressive start. Love the value here.Tasted: 14 June 2020Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:BC | $34.69 | 750ml | winery direct, private wine shops |
