Black Hills Estate Winery 2015 Roussanne (Black Sage Bench) Okanagan Valley - BC

Availability: Direct from winery here
Cost: TBA
Alcohol: 13.9%
Date Tasted: January 13th, 2018

Tasting Notes: This (nearly) off-dry Roussanne makes an intriguing addition to the Black Hills portfolio, offering a blend of fresh, unpasteurized honey, apricot, canned peach, coconut flesh and stewed carrot aromas on the nose with a similar cacophony of flavours on the mouth-watering'yet'creamy palate where additional notes of spicy ginger and cinnamon applesauce present themselves. The finish is a little short and watering after the spice and stone fruit notes fade.

Sealed with a Stelvin cap enclosure to prolong the natural freshness of this Roussanne. Pair with undressed pork chops served with fava beans and theme-betrothed, cinnamon-infused applesauce. Ready to go now. Drink 2018-2020.
