Complex, layered, densely concentrated Bordeaux style blend. Full bodied, firm ripe tannins, big acidity and integrating alcohol. Pairs well with red meats. Tasted 2014 vintage in April 2018 decanted 3h - 92 points




Natalie's Review

Cedar Creek Estate Winery Platinum Meritage 2014, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia V.Q.A., Canada: A robust, complex and layered BC red wine blend of of 14% Merlot, 58% Cabernet Sauvignon, 22% Cabernet Franc, 6% Malbec for the classic Meritage. The 2014 vintage was a solid one. Aromas of dark fleshy ripe plums and some smoke. These 12- to 13-year-old vines are planted in stony soils that reflect the heat back to the vines at night. Decant 2 hours. Pair with a rare steak. Drink: 2018-2025. 14.50% XD 750 mL  $34.95 Score: 92/100. April 11, 2018 Top Rated Red Wine.  Full Review

Unquenchable by Natalie MacLean

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.

The Financial Times of London

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
