Date Tasted: October 14th, 2018
Tasting Notes: A blend of 43% Merlot, 29% Cabernet Sauvignon, 22% Cabernet Franc, 3% Malbec and 3% Syrah, the Summit is a big, bold, showy wine sold in a ginormous, heavy glass bottle designed to sit prominently on the dinner table. What's inside the bottle mostly lives up to the impressive packaging with a complex array of both feminine and masculine aromas and flavours ranging from delicate, crushed violets and sweet berries on the nose to dark and brooding, cassis and toasted oak flavours on the rich, medium-plus bodied palate.
The spicy finish is moderately long and the tannins have mellowed making leaner cuts of beef like filet mignon the right way to go with this food-friendly blend. Ready to go now. Drink 2018-2020.
