Sandhill Cabernet Merlot Vanessa Vineyard 2012

Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaFrom the well-situated Vanessa Vineyard in the Similkameen Valley comes this coffee-kin cabernet sauvignon, cabernet franc and merlot blend. Black cherry joins coffee on the nose and continues through the dense palate, along with spicy blackberry, red currant, tobacco, thorny branch and a lick of dark florals. Tannins are astringent and the finish is ragged. Try pouring with ragu sauced rustic pastas.Tasted: 15 May 2015Tasted by: Prices:
