Hillside Merlot Gjoa's Vineyard 2011
Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaThe Gjoa Vineyard sits just below the winery along the lower Naramata Bench and was first planted in 1995. The mature vineyard fruit neatly meshes with Hillside winemaker Kathy Malone’s philosophy to make “bench” only wines. The nose is fresh with red fruit plum aromas and mocha coffee undercurrent. Similar flavours spill on to the palate with a long, spicy, mineral undercurrent and now mostly silky tannins. Ready to drink with roast beef. Its aged 13 months in barrels; new (14%) American and older French oak.Tasted: 11 August 2017Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:| BC | $30.00 | 750ml | winery direct |
