2house Tempranillo 2017

Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaIt took a while to get around to tasting this wine, but I wanted to reference it against other BC tempranillo, which are few and far between. I'm not sure it is the perfect example of tempranillo, but this is more than a well-made wine put together by the winegrowing winemaking team of Val Tait and Ian Sutherland. The colour is deep, edging toward opaque, the nose savoury with very pleasant black plum. On the palate, the attack is silky with a slurry of soft tannins that melt into black licorice, dark chocolate finish. Delicious drinking now but should age through 2025. Grilled lamb chops would be a good match. A wonderful start for this venture.Tasted: 26 June 2021Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:
