Tinhorn Creek Oldfield Series Merlot 2013
Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaIntense cassis jam, kirsch, spice nose previews a medium-bodied dusty merlot from Black Sage Bench Diamondback Vineyard. Tannins are ripe and supple, though powdery textured. The French oak (30 percent new) is felt through the ripe, potent fruit, as is the alcohol on the raw, sweetly smoked finish. Somewhat awkward at this early stage, though it would suit heady beef shank.Tasted: 11 November 2016Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Treve RingPrices:| BC | $26.99 | 750ml | winery direct, private and VQA wine shops |
