Da Silva Cabernet Sauvignon Outwash Vineyard 2018
Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaFrom Outwash Vineyard, located south of the Black Sage Bench on Oliver's sandy east bench, this shows sweet red fruits and a swath of oak spices. Twenty-six months in equal parts French and American oak lends this no shortage of vanillin, coconut, and espresso. Medium-full bodied, there's a sweetness to the attack from the oak lactones, alongside the ripe fruit and 14.5%, that balances the tannins, leading to a soft, smooth finish.Tasted: 18 August 2021Tasted by: Prices:BC | $38.00 | 750ml | winery online/direct, select private retailers |
