Fleshy, fresh, supple.
The 2022 vintage estate Merlot was harvested from T7's North Oliver Bench’s Blue Terrace Vineyard and Front Yard Vineyard in Naramata. In Oliver the rich, rocky soils provide a foundation for superior grape quality while those from Front Yard Vineyard on the Naramata Bench add complexity and dimension. It was aged in American and French barrels for 18 months before bottling. Expect fragrant notes of cherry cola and violets, chocolate, black raspberry and leather. It's a fresh and fleshy wine with red fruits, pipe tobacco, spice, licorice and chocolate. Supple and wonderfully pleasing with a long sweet and spicy finish. Pair: BBQ, hearty/meaty stews and pastas, roasted lamb, or medium to hard cheese
Pairs great with Gone Crackers Parmesan & Rosemary
