Tightrope Winery Vertigo 2019

Naramata Bench, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaVertigo is a quite singular blend of Merlot, Barbera, and Cabernet Franc from the Naramata Bench. After 3 weeks on skins this was pressed and racked into American and French wood (50% new) where it remained for 10 months. Ripe black cherry, ripe raspberry jam flood a juicy, silken palate, with sweet baking spices and ample sticky tannins to house this to a bitter, peppery finish. A big Naramata red well suited to grilled root veg / beef dishes.Tasted: 15 February 2023Tasted by: Prices:
