LaStella Fortissimo 2012

Osoyoos, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaFrom the cellar. A blend of merlot, cabernet franc, cabernet sauvignon and sangiovese, this is aged in Eastern European puncheons (35 percent new). Worn leather, dried cassis, black cherry and branch is scented with dark florals. At this point, unforgiving; tannins are still massive, raging and sticky, outpacing the ripe fruit and finishing long with a thick bitter espresso note. Decant and pour now with prime rib or roasted lamb.Tasted: 02 August 2016Tasted by: Prices:
