Burrowing Owl Merlot 2013
Oliver, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaSoft and welcoming on the nose, with baked black plum, ripe blackberry, and cherry jam. Eighteen months in French, Hungarian and American oak of which 34 percent was new takes quite a bite out the balance and terroir. Even the rich density of Southern Okanagan fruit (which is quite dense) can't match the wood here causing plush tannin to finish bitter. Braised beef is your best bet now or give it another two years in bottle.Tasted: 11 November 2016Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Treve RingPrices:| BC | $30.00 | 750ml | VQA wine stores, winery direct |
