Sandhill Merlot Sandhill Estate Vineyard 2004

Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaTypical smoky, spicy rubbery notes with coffee, black cherry, celery salt, and a wisp of tobacco. Dry and firm on the palate with smoky oak, vanilla, resiny, tobacco and cherry flavours. Tight and youthful not showing much charm at this point but should settles down over the next year. Reasonable value but it's nearing the limit for what it is delivering.Tasted: 24 September 2006Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:
