LaStella Fortissimo 2015
Osoyoos, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaThe ’15 Fortissimo is a 63/17/11/9 mix of merlot, cabernet sauvignon, sangiovese and cabernet franc and it's impressive from the get go. Large format puncheons and Hungarian/Slavonian oak have set the fruit free and the high level of merlot has kept the tannins manageable. The attack is juicy with bright black cherry fruit over a savoury underbelly, tobacco notes and even a touch of Italian earthiness. Veal osso bucco or roast lamb are classic matches. Love the new-found finesse here; it’s on the right road now. You can drink this now but it will be better in three to five years.Tasted: 15 August 2017Tasted by: Prices:| BC | $29.99 | 750ml | winery direct, private wine shops |
