Little Engine Silver Merlot 2014
CanadaFrom the exclamative This Is It vineyards on the Naramata Bench, this is a single clone merlot planted in 2007. A large proportion of whole berries were soaked and fermented cool, macerating for three weeks before being pressed into barrel for 15 months (35 percent new). A core of plum and black raspberry centres this tight, textural merlot, now well worn with a couple of years in the bottle. Anise, dark florals brood underneath black plum, wild blackberry and thorny rose brightness. Brisk, crunchy acidity supports the fruit, and carries it to a tuggy finish. Merlot's huggy plushness meets with a structural form for aging. Impressive, restrained and drinking beautifully now.Tasted: 14 June 2017Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:| BC | $35.00 | 750ml | winery direct |
