Availability
: (Not yet released) Direct from winery here
Cost: $28.99 + taxes (Est.)
Alcohol: 14.5%

Date Tasted: January 26th, 2019

Tasting Notes: An engaging, full-bodied, Okanagan Merlot with layers of sweet blossoms, savoury cured meats, roasted chestnuts, brambly berries, vanilla and a touch of mint and the dusty, rustic-tannin palate and the floral-steeped nose. Spice and cocoa show on the moderate-plus finish.


Supports its 14.5% alcohol beautifully and at nearly 4 years of age, this wine is ready to go now with Tinhorn having done all of the bottle ageing on your behalf. Enjoy on its own or pair with a Blue Cheese topped Rib-eye steak. Drink now-2022.
