Quartz & Yarrow Sustainable Red 2016
Osoyoos, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaQuartz & Yarrow sources sustainably farmed grapes from across the Okanagan Valley to produce the fruit-forward style of this brand. The blend is a 53/36/9/2/ mix of cabernet sauvignon, merlot, cabernet franc, and syrah. The vines are all well established in the 20-year range. Post ferment, the blend spends 18 months in 30 percent new French barriques. The style is overt with spicy black fruit spilling out of the glass, rich in licorice, pepper, blackcurrants, with a dusting of toasted oak. You can drink this now, but it will need a significant piece of protein to knock down some of the spice and power of youth.Tasted: 05 August 2021Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:| BC | $35.99 | 750ml | BCLS |
