Kalala Organic Estate Aspire 2015
Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaThe Kalala Aspire mixes organically grown merlot (60%) that comes off the East Bench of Naramata township, with the cabernet sauvignon (25%) and syrah (15%) picked at Paulson Vineyard on the East side of Osoyoos lake, facing south-west. The merlot is aged in French oak, while the rest goes into American oak. At six years, it is beginning to reach its zenith, although it comes with considerable tannin yet to be dispersed. Black and blue fruits flood the palate, but the finish is dry and hard with those tannins poking out. Best with grilled, fully marbled steak.Tasted: 02 April 2022Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:| BC | $33.00 | 750ml | winery online/direct, select private retailers |
