Upper Bench Merlot Limited Release Estate Grown 2013
Naramata Bench, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaLike the 2012 this is a rich, dense style of merlot but with dry savoury fruit that keeps you coming back to the glass. The nose is open boasting spicy undertones and warm black fruit aromas and flavours. The wine is almost chewy, but in a good way, with dense, sweet, fruit all flecked with red cherries, black currants and savoury menthol notes before some obvious wood tannins jump up in the back end. The winery suggests you pair it with their Upper Bench Okanagan Sun washed rind cheese. We say roast beef. Just a little less of everything is going to set this wine free in the future.
