Hawthorne Mountain Merlot 2004

Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaIt's been a while since we've seen this label but this is a very pleasant surprise from winemaker Dave Carson. The nose has an appealing red currant and spice scent with roasted licorice and vanilla pudding notes. Smooth and round on the palate, 9real merlot texture) with more spicy, smoky plummy fruit. Ripe fruit, fine balance and an attractive price. Real value here.Tasted: 24 September 2006Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:
