Selendi Blend 2014
This 2014 Selendi Blend was another wine I tasted with Şarap Atölyesi at a tasting at the Historic Pano Wine House. I’d had this one before at Solera and was not exactly wowed by it but was game to give it another go.
With a blend of 30% Shiraz, 27% Merlot, 23% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 20% Cabernet Franc and matured for 24 months in French oak this wine is not messing around. It means business. So does Selendi apparently as they’ve produced only 9,164 bottles of this blend.
Selendi Blend 2014 Tasting Notes
The nose of this ruby-red wine displayed some nice clove, black pepper, vanilla, smoke, and red fruits. These followed to the palate where I tasted especially the red fruits and clove along with some vanilla and something woody. The mouth feel was nice but it all seemed very medium: medium-high acid, medium tannins, and a medium finish.
Like several of the other reds I had at this tasting I think that the 2014 Selendi Blend is a good wine but after a few more years in the bottle it could be a great wine.
