Savoury, brooding, meaty.
This Merlot was harvested from estate vineyards in Oliver and Osoyoos, was put through a malolactic (second) fermentation and matured in a mix of French (primarily), Hungarian and American oak barrels for 14 months.
Always a powerful and often brooding Merlot, this vintage stays true. Black chocolate, plums and prune, wild sage, toasted brown spice, tar, tobacco and vanilla aromas dominate. The palate echos the nose with black fruit, charred black chocolate and leather flavours. A savoury, full-bodied and meaty red with a spicy finish.
