Tightrope Winery Vertigo 2018
Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaVertigo is an oddball blend of merlot, cabernet franc, and barbera that somehow works. The style is fresh and juicy with savoury, fruit-forward black plum and black cherry, and bright acidity. It’s a perfect pizza red, but it will also work with roast chicken or grilled vegetables. Vertigo is handpicked and fermented in small lots. Drink or hold over the next two to three years.Tasted: 21 September 2020Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:BC | $36.00 | 750ml | winery online/direct, select private retailers, restaurants |
