Bartier Bros. Granite 2021

British Columbia, CanadaThe Granite Red Blend is a 53/32/12/3 mix of syrah (Black Sage Terrace), merlot (Golden Mile Bench), cabernet franc (Cawston), and cabernet sauvignon (Cawston). It is hand-harvested, destemmed, and crushed into 5-ton open-top fermenters, spending 23 - 27 days on skins. It is aged 19 months in 225L neutral French barrels that leave that fruit fresh, round, and whole. Lovely weight here, a bit of heat, but a delicious red made for the dinner table. Acceptable value, too.Tasted: 01 June 2024Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:
