Van Westen Vineyards V 2018

90POINTS

16^½/20

Naramata Bench, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaYear ten of V is a winner. The blend is 41/24/12/12/8 merlot, cabernet franc, malbec, cabernet sauvignon, and petit verdot, all grown within two kilometres of the Naramata Bench winery. In 2018, the wine exhibits savoury black fruit and intense dark chocolate that will attract many. The tannins are sweet and dense and structured without the dry edges. It is a hedonistic style you can drink or hold. Good value here.Tasted: 19 October 2021Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:
