Phantom Creek Estates Limited Edition Block 12 Small Lot Cabernet Sauvignon 2018

Oliver, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaPicked on November 11, Block 12 was aged 20 months in 25% new French oak barrels. The nose opens with fragrant, floral cherry blossoms, muted plums, smoke, dark chocolate, and cassis that run throughout the wine. The texture is full of finesse and style, supporting black fruit, cedar, bitter chocolate, dense tannins, and a spicy finish. The cabernet sauvignon planted at Phantom Creek Vineyard is 22 years old, and as small as the site is, three planted clones add both flexibility and complexity to the wine. This wine is far too young to drink now, but grilled steak is the match if you must.Tasted: 18 February 2022Tasted by: Prices:
