Tasting profile
Structure: full-bodied, high tannin, medium acidity, dry
Maestoso is La Stella's flagship Merlot from the Okanagan Valley in British Columbia, a narrow near-desert valley where hot days and sharply cold nights let the variety ripen fully while holding on to acidity. Dark plum and black cherry with cocoa, cedar and a herbal, faintly minty lift, full-bodied and plush but with more freshness and definition than warm-climate Merlot. Low yields and serious oak give it a firm frame that rewards several years in bottle.
