Hester Creek Character Syrah Petit Verdot Malbec 2019
Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaCharacter Red is a mix of merlot, syrah, petit verdot, cabernet, and malbec that spends 6-8 months in a mix of French and American oak. The nose is a savoury, herbal, aromatic affair with cedary undertones. On the palate, more savoury, red cherry runs bright with grippy tannins tugging at the finish. This year's slightly more rustic version is perhaps more authentic, but nothing some grilled sausages or beef kebabs wouldn’t take down now.Tasted: 25 March 2021Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:BC | $18.99 | 750ml | BCLS |
