Osoyoos Larose Le Grand Vin 2012

Merlot 50%, Cabernet Sauvignon 24%, Petit Verdot 13%, Cabernet Franc 9%, Malbec 4%. Production 6,500 cases. The wine begins with aromas of vanilla and cassis and continues with flavours of black cherry and black currants, along with hints of espresso and dark chocolate on the finish. The wine has great elegance and polish. (John Schreiner,Other,Dec. 9, 2015)
