Opulent, engaging, lengthy.
This 100% Merlot comes from the Bella Vineyard, on the Golden Mile Bench in Oliver. It was released in late November 2016 and has the potential for cellaring 5-10 years.
Expect engaging aromas of pencil shavings and sarsaparilla, black raspberry and black cherries, coconut and brown spices. It is supple and opulent; mocha, cedar and tobacco flavours linger. Excellent balance, nicely knit, and lengthy.
Pair: Grilled steaks, pork roast, lamb, braised veal, red pasta sauce, venison, Camembert or aged cheeses.
