Cassini Cellars 2015 Malbec (Golden Mile Bench) Okanagan Valley - BC
Availability: Not yet released (Winter 2018). Direct from the winery here upon release
Cost: $TBA
Alcohol: 14.5%
Production: 70 cases
Date Tasted: July 3rd, 2018
Tasting Notes: Often only grown in the Okanagan Valley to be a complimentary component in a Bordeaux-styled blend, Cassini's inky-purple Malbec can stand alone with a profile of upfront berry fruits and impressive backend structure.
French oak influence is well integrated, supporting the plumy-blackberry scented nose and the grippy,-tannin and licorice-menthol kissed palate. Savoury spice and pipe tobacco add depth on the long finish. A scrumptious red to be sure. Awaiting a December 2018 release. Drink mid-2019-2025.
