Corcelettes Cabernet Sauvignon 2021
Similkameen Valley, British Columbia, CanadaThe Corcelettes Estate Vineyard sits on the Keremeos Upper Bench over a mix of spare, alluvial Stemwinder soils and gravelly sandy loam: the perfect setting for the super warm 2021 vintage that fully ripened this cabernet sauvignon hanging one cluster per shoot. As hot as it got, the cabernet pushed through, and the results were gratifying, including an amazing silky texture at release. Florals mark the opening, followed by dusty mineral, black plums, blackcurrants, and that BC savoury desert brush finish. It's impressive now, but I would wait 5 to 7 years for this issue to reach its peak.Tasted: 04 November 2023Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:BC | $39.90 | 750ml | winery online/direct |
