Hillside Merlot Hidden Valley Vineyard 2009

Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaThe Hidden Valley vineyard is just that, hidden from view not far from Hillside Winery. We love the way this wine has evolved over the past four years. It is warm, rich and plummy now with glossy satin tannins and long rich textures throughout the finish. Sweet plums, figs, black cherries and a whiff of mint nad sagebrush combine to make this a formidable red that would happy with a hamburger but equally up to the task of accompanying a roast of beef. The fruit is all hand harvested and fermented in two separate lots priot to ageing about a year in French and American oak.Tasted: 21 July 2013Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:
