Red Rooster Reserve Malbec 2012

Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaThe malbec is grown on-site in Naramata and was fermented in open top fermenters before ageing in American and French oak barrels for 14 months. It has a strong malbec character with plenty of blueberry and blackberry fruits mixed with spice and a rich dollop of oak and acidity. The tannins are soft and disappear into the juicy, dry black tea and dark fruit finish. The classic match is beef empanadas but barbecue ribs will do just fine.Tasted: 03 July 2015Tasted by: Prices:
