Black Bank Hill Égalité 2021
Lincoln Lakeshore, Niagara Peninsula, Ontario, CanadaEstablished by vintner Taylor Emerson in 2017, Black Bank Hill is focused on single vineyard wines from the Niagara Escarpment. Égalité is a 3 barrel blend, with 1 barrel of each cabernet sauvignon (clone 169), merlot (clone 343), cabernet franc (clones 214, 327), native fermented and aged in mostly neutral French oak for 17 months. It was bottled, unfined, and unfiltered. Bright and vibrant, this medium red weaves black cherry, wild raspberry, black tea, crushed stones, and ferrous notes across its long palate. Long, lightly grippy tannins frame through a lingering, saline finish. There's a lovely light touch to this charming, yet structured blend.Tasted: 09 January 2025Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:| ON | $39.85 | 750ml | winery direct |
