Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaA blend of merlot, cabernet franc, and cabernet sauvignon (65/20/15), this wine shows a lovely nose of tangy cranberries, ripe raspberry, red plum blended with nutmeg and toasted spices. The influence of 14 months of aging in French oak is evident in the wood tannins felt toward the back of the palate, but there’s a touch of sweetness at the finish skillfully balancing the overall mouthfeel.Tasted: 06 September 2023Tasted by: Prices:
