Van Westen Vineyards Violeta 2020

Naramata Bench, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaVioleta pays tribute to the floral notes in this malbec grown on the Naramata Bench. There is a lot unpacked here in this rich, spicy, savoury malbec with dense, youthful tannins, and some dry, bitter notes in the back end. It is a consistent performer, painting some of the softest textural notes of any malbec in BC. Look for red plums and black tea in the finish.Tasted: 07 November 2023Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:
