Tasting profile
Structure: full-bodied, medium tannin, medium acidity, dry
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 onto acidity. Dark plum and black cherry with cocoa, cedar and a herbal, slightly minty lift, full-bodied and plush but with more freshness and definition than warm-climate Merlot usually keeps. A reserve bottling means more oak and more selection, so it carries a firmer frame and rewards a few years.
