2008 Merlot
Full bodied, great mouth feel with chocolate and berry notes. This merlot expresses the strong influence of the desert heat and the extreme temperature changes that the vine endures under the Canadian skies. This is the epitome of an Okanagan Merlot that only we can produce here in the southern most region of our valley. It is unfined and minimally filtered so decanting makes the perfect presentation! -
