Tasting Notes:
In this medium/full-bodied blend, you will find aromas of black currant, brandied cherries, fig, black cherry, and an earthy note of cedar. This juicy palate is full of flavours of plum, raspberry, cedar, star anise and sour cherry. You will find this wine very approachable with medium tannins and a beautiful spice note on the finish.
Winemaker Notes:
Making the Bordello takes time and attention to detail! Keeping an eye on individual barrels allows us to track the highest quality wine as it spends 2 years maturing in a blend of French and American oak. Once it is time to blend the newest vintage of Bordello, our winemakers pull out the best barrels of each lot, blend them in tank and rack off lees, then put the blend back in barrels for another year. The result is a smooth, velvety representation of the best the Okanagan can deliver in terms of high quality, Bordeaux-style red wine. This vintage of Bordello is a blend of 68% Petit Verdot, 22% Cabernet Sauvignon and 10% Merlot.
Food Pairing Notes:
An aged rib eye with creamy mashed potatoes, grilled bison
tenderloin and even a nice herb crusted rack of lamb. Earthier
vegetables including roasted squash or eggplant with wild rice or
black lentils. Aged farmhouse style cheeses, or any smoked cheeses
would stand up to the bold flavours.
