Tinhorn Creek, Oldfield Reserve 2Bench Red, Okanagan Valley

The density of color has decreased & the rim variation is greater, showing more orange/brown colors in the glass. Red & black cherry, dark currant, & plum on the nose, following 30 min. decant. Flavors carry through adding mid-palate notes of leather, cedar, vanilla, clove - with a subtle creaminess to it. The tannin's have softened at this point, coupled with medium acidity, still a decent finish. Probably need to drink up.

Look is aged garnet with medium intensity. Aromas of ripe cherries, cranberry, roses, anise and cherry cola. On the palate dry, medium acid, ripe tannin and a smoky finish sticks around.

This wine follows in the footsteps of 2012...incredible talent at this winery. Opaque black-ruby in colour, it showcases incredibly indulgent, enriching aromas of chocolate and currants; giving way to dark cherries, dried red plums, sweet blue fruits, mint, licorice, forest floor, vanilla, and spice. Complex, possessing resolutely delicious, superbly focused fruit, very firm tannins, milder acidity, and a lingering, powerful hint of mocha, currants, and dark cherries (plus a few blue fruits) on the finish. Exquisite expression, structure, harmony, and …

Dry, slightly acidic with peppery overtones.

Wonderful nose to start spice and fruit in the middle and a medium length peppery finish. Decant for an hour.
