Painted Rock Merlot 2011
Skaha Bench, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaPeppery, clove, smoky, vanilla, plum, black olive, tobacco and herb aromas with a hint of chocolate. Dry, fresh, slightly lean and tart with light tannins. Chocolate, coffee, sour cherry, vanilla, tobacco, poultry spice, herb and cedar flavours. Solid finesse but the finish is lean and showing some acidity. Needs a few years to flesh out and it will but like 2010, a challenging vintage.Tasted: 19 April 2014Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:| BC | $40.00 | 750ml | winery direct, private wine shops |
