La Frenz Merlot 2002
Naramata Bench, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaSpicy, vanilla Christmas pudding aromas with some smoky, pepper, black cherry jam streaks. Somewhat chunky entry with ripe round tannins. The entry is warm with smoky, toasted oak vanilla, spicy, cedar-y, peppery flavours with a dried herb, tobacco leaf, dried cherry finish. Well made if a bit oaky and quite young. This needs time to become even better knit in the glass.Tasted: 12 September 2004Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:BC | $23.00 | 750ml | Winery; Private Retailers |
