"The 2006 OV blend draws its personality from the same sources as it big brother, the FUTO blend. The parallels in aromatics, body and overall intensity of this red blend give our OV the recognizable distinction that is this Oakville estate. Aromatics are vibrant and focused on fresh cherry and red currant layered with exotic spices. These aromatics carry over to the palate. The mouth feel is rich and generous with an abundance of velvety tannin. Matched to the ripe tannin profile, the complexity of this wine evolves further with smoky mineral notes. This red blend is built to improve with bottle aging but will provide an indulgent drinking experience through its youth. - 125 cases bottled August 2008." FutoWines.com |
