Quails' Gate Merlot 2012

Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaRoasted coffee, cassis and light tar open this dense and ripe merlot. A five percent splash each of cabernet sauvignon and syrah amp up the structure, resulting in smoked branch, vanilla cherry compote, raspberry jam, black pepper and bitter black cherry skin / espresso. Tannins are a bit ragged and finish with a bitter cassis and thorn note. Pour with beef.Tasted: 19 March 2015Tasted by: Prices:
