Van Westen Vineyards Violeta 2019

Naramata Bench, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaVioleta reveals how exceptional the Naramata Bench can be. Every year, this malbec holds its own, with many of the best merlot and pinot noir grown across the mid-Okanagan Valley, exhibiting some of the softest textural notes and lively fruit. I love the floral, violet, mineral nose, the intense red plum, spice with black tea notes, and finish amid those dense but soft tannins. The most refined yet would be a perfect barbecue red with grilled chicken, pork, or veal.Tasted: 16 November 2022Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:
