The attack is soft and round with more savoury, cedar, black fruits and spice inter mixed with rich textures and length. There’s some green in the finish but nothing a steak would not handle.Tasted: 09 July 2015Tasted by: Prices:
Inniskillin Okanagan Dark Horse Single Vineyard Red Meritage 2012
Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaAnise, black liquorice, tar and damson plum open this dark, brooding blend. Cracked spices, black cherry compote and blackberry bush herbaceousness fill the toasty palate, with dusty, grippy tannins hinting to the ample use of American and French oak aging. The finish trails off to bitter and astringent berry skin and espresso. Best poured with sauced steaks.Tasted: 10 May 2015Tasted by: Prices:
