Van Westen Vineyards Voluptuous 2018

Naramata Bench, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, Canada2018 Voluptuous is just a little less voluptuous, relying on its juicy red fruit to capture your imagination. The blend is the same as last year, 67/33 merlot and cabernet franc from 16 year old vines growing at Boothe Vineyard on the Naramata Bench. However, the style is cooler and spicer this year, with tannins that are a little more grippy than normal. The savoury notes speak to the cabernet franc, while the pine trees and sagebrush add a BC touch to a classic Right Bank blend. Drink or hold, it should improve in bottle over the next five years.Tasted: 19 October 2021Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:
