Pentâge Winery Pentâge 2013

Skaha Bench, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaI admire any winery, no matter how large or how small, that decides to hold wine back until it's ready (or close to) prior to release. This blend of cabernet sauvignon, cabernet franc, merlot, malbec, petit verdot, tempranillo 2013 is current release, as is many of Pentâge's wines. Here dark sweet plum, blackberry jam and black cherry set the stage for this bigger red, well-worn with time and showing that aging very well. Pipe tobacco and worn leather shade the supple wine, while well managed downy tannins house it. A saline rinse on the very finish keeps this lifted at 14 percent. Fantastic value, considering they've done the aging for you and you don't even need to decant before pouring with your steak frites.Tasted: 08 December 2017Tasted by: Prices:
