Calliope Merlot Oak Knoll Vineyard 2002

Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaVery pruny, stewed fruit, black olive, spicy, coffee, shoe leather prickly aromas. Ripe, round and quite smooth but dry with cedar, tobacco, coffee, spicy, vanilla black olive flavours and a bit of cherry Christmas pudding on the finish. Very spicy oak aftertaste. This has good extract and ripeness and would really appeal save for the stewed fruit aromas on the nose.Tasted: 09 July 2004Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:
