Sandhill Merlot Burrowing Owl Vineyard 2000

Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaLook for a pleasant/open maraschino cherry nose spiced with oak and smoke. This is quite a big round warm (alcoholic) red with vanilla cola cherry flavours and a warm finish. There is good weight and balance here. It reminds us of the older style California/Washington reds that were big on oak and alcohol. A fine effort for the price.Tasted: 18 January 2003Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:
