Availability: Direct from the winery here
Cost: $43.50
Alcohol: 14.4%
Date Tasted: February 16th, 2018
Tasting Notes: A youthful, feminine Meritage blend of 76% Merlot, 13% Cabernet Sauvignon and 11% Cabernet Franc all sourced from the Okanagan Falls winery's home vineyard. The nose is delightfully fruity and sultry with ripe, red and black berry aromas supported by sweet and savoury licorice, vanilla, oak and a plethora of spice notes.
The dry, medium-plus bodied palate is bursting with sweet, blackberry and red cherry fruit, dusty, fine tannins and a medley of oaky-spicy flavours and subtle notes of smoky chocolate and herbs through to the long finish. Ready to go now with a long decant, but at this price it would be best to wait until the wine begins to peak in another two years. Drink 2020-2026.
