Black Hills Carménère 2016

Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaRoasted meat notes cover this fleshy carménère that weighs in at an incredible 12.1% alcohol. The soft, soupy, ripe body belies its moderate figure, what with all its smoky meats, peppery spicing, medicinal, herby black cherry, raspberry compote, thorny cassis and green cedar hewed Carmenere-ness. There’s a flush of warmth on the finish and a dollop of mellow sweetness, imparted partially by time in 90/10 French /American oak, one-third of which was new. I'd love to see this tightened in the future, though would easily and handily suit roast beef now.Tasted: 13 August 2018Tasted by: Treve Ring & Anthony GismondiPrices:
