Phantom Creek Estates Petite Cuvée 2020

Osoyoos, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaPetite Cuvée leads with classic cedar, desert scrub, and black fruit aromas that shout the south Okanagan Valley. The blend, a 43/33/16/4/2/2 mix of cabernet franc, cabernet sauvignon, merlot, petit verdot, syrah, and malbec, results in a well-rounded, mouth-filling red with moderate tannins and an easy drinkability. Winemaker Mark Beringer likens it to the style of red wine he made in Knight's Valley between Napa and Sonoma. Dark cherries and plums lead the fruit parade, while a savoury balsamic note represents the desert scrub landscape. It is an impressive vintage poised to age effortlessly through 2028-2030.
