Blowing off some serious sediment. Many great years left in this one.

06' Kelham Vineyard Sons Red Blend. Unbelievably this is the current vintage?!?
75% CB 20% Merlot 5% PV.

Full- bodied. Dark brick red in color. Bold nose- Sandalwood . Dried cranberries, wet leather, lingering spices. Rich oak, 6/10 tannins. Predominately Cabernet ? We've never had anything quite like this before coming out of Oakville? Something to do with the barrel selection & toasting??

I need to pop this one for the wine nerd herd. Love to get their opinion on the wine. I'm thinking it has at least another 10 years in it. There's no scheduled release date for the 2007 !?!

06' Kelham Vineyards Sons Red Blend. Keeping my eyes on this winery. I had a couple of these Kelham last week at the "Taste of Oakville". Current release ? They set this wine down just shy of 10 years before releasing it! Looking forward to trying the 2007 this fall 😉.

Built like a massive Bordeaux. Slate, raspberries, menthol, Settled down nicely after 30 minutes in the glass. A long way to go.

Really special wine. Old and new at the same time. Earthy, stinky, and voluptuous. Frenchy with a California soul. Kick ass.

Sour cherries and dried fruits with low acidity and nice structure. Well refined tannins. Beautiful light wine.
