Mission Hill Merlot Five Vineyards 2003

Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaWe like the development of this truly B.C. merlot over the past few years with its smoky, resiny vanilla, black olive nose streaked with cherry, spice and saddle leather aromas. Soft, round, slightly tannic entry with cedar, chocolate, prune plum, vanilla, spicy flavours. A bit dry and tannic on the finish but there's enough fruit and it remains youthful. Solid effort and affordably priced.Tasted: 05 November 2005Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:
