Sandhill Merlot Sandhill Estate Vineyard 2005

Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaSomewhat dry and tight on the nose showing spicy resiny earthy notes but not much else. On the palate there is some smoky oak, and more resiny, earthy tobacco fruit with just a hint of cherry fruit. Fairly skinny aftertaste for the price. Disappointing given the quality of the sister brand Artists Series merlot in '05.Tasted: 06 December 2007Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:
