Moraine Cliffhanger Red 2021
Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaCliffhanger Red is evolving. The latest blend is a mix of merlot, syrah, and malbec from the property's estate Anastasia Vineyard. The nose is lightly reductive, but a splash decant can help clean that up. Before you get to the black cherry, raspberry, and vanilla, there is a fair bit of tannin to disperse. Best now with barbecued pork ribs or Portobello mushroom burgers to soak up some flavours. A rustic red at this point, but ageing another three years in the bottle should allow it to all come together.Tasted: 21 April 2023Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:BC | $25.00 | 750ml | winery online/direct, select private retailers |
