Painted Rock Cabernet Sauvignon 2021
Skaha Bench, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaThe fruit was hand picked and berry sorted from a single 2.15 acre block on the estate. It was barrel aged for 18 months in 30% new French oak and blended before it was bottled unfiltered. The Painted Rock style is dark and brooding, with branchy, black and blue fruit, and classic, youthful, dense tannins that finish resiny and spicy for the moment. You must be patient here or served it with rich meat dishes to help break down those youthful tannins. No need to drink this before 2025.Tasted: 21 September 2023Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:BC | $59.99 | 750ml | winery online/direct, select private retailers, restaurants |
