Backyard Vineyards Merlot 2010
British Columbia, CanadaFresh peppery, smoky, black cherry noise with savoury, tobacco aromas. Round, smooth, warm, fresh palate with light tannins. The attack is a mix of smoky, coffee, black cherry jam, cedar, tobacco, plum, olive, rooty, dried herb flavours. The finish is warm but with solid fruit. Needs another year to settle down in bottle but well done.Tasted: 01 November 2012Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:BC | $16.99 | 750ml |
