Blasted Church Merlot 2003

Okanagan Falls, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaA super dark opaque colour previews a rich spicy nose of black raspberry and smoky, tobacco leaf. The entry is smooth (there is plenty of alcohol) and supple (light tannins) with cedar-y, coffee, smoky, black cherry, vanilla fruit. A warm year has ripen the fruit and spiked the alcohol but this will be enjoyed by many.Tasted: 28 April 2005Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:
