Summerhill Pyramid Winery Robert Bateman Artist's Series Grasslands Organic Merlot 2010
Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaThirty one months in oak is the story here as the French and American combo tends to dominate the wine drying out the fruit. Look for a woodsy, dusty, spicy red fruit flavours with plenty dry resiny tannins. A difficult year best served with grill meat to smooth out the edges. We like the Robert Bateman designed labels and the charity aspect of funds going to the Bateman Foundation's initiatives.Tasted: 04 October 2014Tasted by: Prices: BC 45.00 winery direct, VQA and private wine shops

Summerhill Pyramid Winery Robert Bateman Artist's Series Grasslands Organic Merlot 2010
Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaQuiet nose, offering up some dampered black plum, cherry and dust. The palate wakes up with juicy blackberry, ripe plum, fine cinnamon spice and slightly gummy, downy clad tannins. Big wood spice and extract on the hot finish. Grapes come from organic farms in Kaleden and Okanagan Falls, two vineyards facing each other across Skaha Lake. Aged in French and American oak for 31 months. Unfined and unfiltered - decanting recommended. Part of a trio of Robert Bateman designed labels, with partial proceeds funding the Bateman Foundation's initiatives.Tasted: 03 October 2014Tasted by: Prices: BC 45.00 winery direct, VQA and private wine shops
