Tinhorn Creek Edition 93 Limited Release 2020
Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaThe lauded 2020 vintage Edition 93 celebrates the history of Tinhorn from its humble beginnings in 1993. Today, Tinhorn farms 150 acres of vineyards on the Golden Mile and Black Sage Bench. Edition 93 blends 58% merlot, 20% syrah, 12% malbec, 7% cabernet sauvignon, 2% petit verdot, and 1% cabernet franc from the oldest vines and best bunches. The nose is a restrained mix of red and dark fruits led by plums and blackberries, with exotic black tea notes. The attack is juicy with more fresh red and black fruit, a dash of pepper, and primarily soft tannins that are dense and sweet. There is a sense of balance throughout, suggesting that some bottle age will only improve what is a solid red wine is at the moment. For those who must drink this wine now, serve it with a meat dish, perhaps with mushrooms or root vegetables. Those who can wait three to five years will be rewarded with even deeper flavours and layers as this bend pulls together over time.
