CedarCreek Merlot Platinum Reserve 2006

Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaWinemaker Tom Di Bello absolutely nailed merlot in 2006 as evidenced by this delicious unfiltered offering that is mixed with 3.7 per cent each of cabernet sauvignon and cabernet franc. Twenty months in French oak has delivered an elegant expression of this soft grape in a true cool-climate Bordelais style. The result is a super rich cedary, red that is steeped in spicy, plummy, black cherry/blueberry fruit, with flecks of chocolate, vanilla, mineral with a touch of that elusive orange peel.Tasted: 03 November 2008Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:
