Robin Ridge Merlot 2007

Keremeos, Similkameen Valley, British Columbia, CanadaVery dark colour. Spicy, vanilla, chocolate, cherry jam, peppery, tobacco leaf, rooty, tapenade aromas. Very warm, dry, fresh palate with light tannins and extract. Smoky, peppery, cherry, savoury, meaty, vanilla, sour plum with some cedar and tobacco leaf. The finish is alcoholic and slightly tart but shows potential. Best with rich meat dishes to tame the ending.Tasted: 02 August 2010Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:
