Sandhill – Small Lots One Similkameen Valley Vanessa 2017
$44.35
An ever-changing bouquet of sweet pipe tobacco, vanilla extract, roasted coffee bean, dark plum, black cherry, sweet spice and oak. This full-bodied wine has firm drying tannins, great structure and rich fruit flavours. Rich fruit flavours blackberry and black cherry mingle with spice, oak, black tea and cocoa notes. Notes of black tea, black currant, cocoa powder and spicy oak linger on the extra-dry finish. While still young, enjoy with medium-rare red meats including lamb and beef, or a cheese platter which includes three to five-year-old Canadian cheddar and other hard aged cheeses; after a few years in the cellar (2022 and beyond) enjoy with hearty winter stews, braised meats, roasted leg of lamb, or 70% dark chocolate. The blend is 71.5% Cabernet Franc, 14.5% Cabernet Sauvignon, 14% Merlot.
