Hillside Merlot - Malbec 2013

Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaSimilar to last year with a little less charm. Savoury resin, black cherry, black pepper aromas flecked with cedar. Dry, lean, smoky, savoury entry with tobacco, sour cherry, cedar, tea and coffee flavours. A light mini-Bordeaux style that finishes dry and lean at this point. Serve now with grilled lamb chops or give some time in bottle to settle in.Tasted: 24 December 2015Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:
