Vanessa Vineyard 2017 Right Bank

Similkameen Valley, British Columbia, Canada

Situated on 75 acres of well-drained, rocky hillside in the Similkameen Valley, which enjoys hot summers, low rainfall, low humidity and low pests and diseases. This blend of 65% Merlot, 18% Cabernet Sauvignon and 17% Cabernet Franc was aged for 4.5 years in the barrel and bottle before release. The result is robust with flavours of dark fruits, minerality and spice, and nicely balanced tannins. Drink it with meat dishes and tomato-based pastas.
