Black Hills Estate Winery 2016 Nota Bene

Black Hills Estate Winery 2016 Nota Bene

Okanagan Valley, British Columbia

$59.90

Holding to tradition, the 2016 Nota Bene is a three grape blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc that’s fragrant and fleshy. The texture is smooth and concentrated, with a rich core of earthy fruit that’s nicely accented by cocoa and savoury notes (that Okanagan sage note sings here). Nota Bene has been one of the most collected and talked about wines from the Okanagan Valley since its debut in 1999. But the real excitement has come more recently, from the 2012 vintage onward. This polished and refined example ranks as one of the most exciting expressions to date. Highly Recommeded. (91/100)
