Description
Merlot is a staple of the south Okanagan, and from our estate vineyards comes this version, which offers up a plethora of aromas and flavours that will surprise and amaze. It balances ripe red fruits, black raspberry and rhubarb with pepper, herbs and spices, stewed plums and a tiny hint of mint, all within an integrated oak structure. It has medium body and wonderfully supple tannins. It’s a wine for Italian sausage, spaghetti with meatballs, burgers and braised short ribs.

John Schreiner –
This is a big, ripe wine (14.8% alcohol), dark in the glass, with aromas of black currant, black cherry and blueberry. On the palate, the vibrant black fruit flavours explode, delivering black currant and black cherry mingled with tobacco and cedar. There is good concentration here, with a satisfying finish. 91.
