Bench 1775 Merlot 2013
Naramata Bench, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaOpen warm black fruit, savoury dried herb nose with flecks of crushed tobacco leaf. The attack is fresh, dry with a combination of sour black cherry, more dried herbs, licorice and old wood. The tannins are youthful and powdery and this finishes with some heat, but you can drink this now with roasted lamb, venison or beef.Tasted: 08 August 2015Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Treve RingPrices:BC | $34.50 | 750ml | winery direct, private and VQA wine shops |
