Description
TASTING NOTE: La Stella is a small, Italy-inspired winery near Osoyoos under the same ownership as Le Vieux Pin. Patterned on Italy's super-Tuscans Fortissimo is a blend of cabernet, merlot and sangiovese, the latter from young vines in their first year of production. It is aged in French and Slavonian oak. The whole ambiance is actually surprisingly Italian - with sour edged acidity fending off the ripeness, density and tannin often found in big reds of the south Okanagan. The nose captures sour cherry-raspberry fruit, sage, leather, well toned oak spice and chocolate. It's mid-weight, vibrant and mouthwatering without being too aggressive or tannic. A year or two in the cellar will calm it down a notch - it should provide enjoyment through the decade. Length is excellent. Tasted December 2010. Score: 91 (David Lawrason, winealign.com, Dec. 2010)
