2017 Merlot

Description:

This year’s Merlot is deep ruby in colour and showcases aromas and flavours of cocoa dust, dark plum, black cherry, raisins, pie crust, leather, oregano and tomato leaf.  The dry palate is full bodied offering up plush velvety tannins, balanced acidity, and well integrated oak on the long finish.

Perfect Pairing:

Ideally served next to the fire, under the stars.  This wine pairs beautifully with Blue Cheese Burgers topped with caramelized onions, Beef Bourguignon, red-sauced pastas, or as a side dish – try roasted root vegetables.

Additional Information:

Best consumed now or up until 2026.

Vineyard Notes

Grapes were sourced from Osoyoos where vineyard soils are composed of mostly gravel, sandy loam and top soil.  Planted in 2010, grafted onto 3309 rootstock, this vine is Merlot clone 181. History shows us that Merlot grapes are very versatile. Not only do they make excellent wines all by themselves but they are often blended to add softness to other varieties of red wine.
