Van Westen Vineyards Voluptuous 2017

Naramata Bench, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaVoluptuous takes its cue from its name. It is always fun to drink: soft, red, round, never overbearing, and never too dry or tough. In 2017 the mix was 67/33 merlot and cabernet franc from the 15-year-old vines growing in Boothe Vineyard on the Naramata Bench. The nose is black plums, cherries, and licorice, never suppressed by oak. The palate is a carbon copy, with Naramata pine and sagebrush to settle the ripe fruit down. Ribs, spaghetti Bolognese, or simply grilled sausages will work here.Tasted: 14 December 2020Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:
