Road 13 Fifth Element Red 2011

Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaWith densely ripe, sweet black fruits, dark florals, tobacco, pitch and alluring roasted meats this blend of merlot, cabernet franc, syrah, cabernet sauvignon and petit verdot packs a lot of stuffing. Fortunately, the structure is there to support it. Though this wine still presents youthful, it was built to last five plus years. Ample ripe tannins finish with black cherry and blackberry on a lingering, brooding finish. Pour with your grilled steaks.Tasted: 22 December 2015Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:
