Black Hills Per Se 2019
Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaWinemaker Ross Wise has redesigned Per Se to be more of a right bank Bordeaux red with a touch of Bolgheri, and in 2019, the blend is 76/24 cabernet franc/merlot. It opens with fresh raspberry and black cherry with impressive silky tannins. There are low level savoury sagebrush notes that add depth, and some French oak that is seamlessly integrated. There is a modest amount of tannin yet to disperse, but this is a wine of finesse heading for stardom.Tasted: 16 August 2021Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:BC | $55.00 | 750ml | winery online/direct, select private retailers |
