Quinta Ferreira Merlot 2009
Oliver, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaOpen smoky peppery, tobacco nose with bits of espresso and dried tomato. The attack is dry with substantial power and weight and with tannin to beat the band and cherry earthy, vanilla, black olive, savoury flavours. Somewhat rustic at this stage and will need some time in the bottle to settle down. Serve this one with a roast of beef to best effect.Tasted: 27 June 2013Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:BC | $25.00 | 750ml | VQA wine stores, winery direct |
