Phantom Creek Estates Phantom Creek Vineyard Cuvée Cuvée N° 23 2018

Osoyoos, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaThe Phantom Creek Vineyard Cuvée No. 23 is said to be the best expression of the site. In 2018, when heat and wildfire smoke were a factor in southern BC, the wine appears to have been managed perfectly to capture both the power of the site and the finesse in a tough year. The textures are silky smooth in this 40/31/19/5/5/ mix of cabernet sauvignon, petit verdot, malbec, cabernet franc, and syrah. Dense, rich tannins coarse through the black and blue fruits, with just the right amount of toasted oak. It takes time for sure, but you can expect this wine to age effortlessly and develop into a complex red.Tasted: 09 September 2021Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:
