Tinhorn Creek Oldfield Reserve Merlot 2014

Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaTinhorn Creek has always been known for its merlot. The 2014 Oldfield Reserve is full and expansive with mocha, smoked blackberry, resin and dark, fertile soils, overridden with a sweet, vanilla wood spice and rough hewn wood structure. Partial wild ferment, partial whole berry, after 6-8 weeks the wines are pressed to French oak barrels where they go through MLF and 18 months aging. This is on the rustic, rough and ready for BBQ side at this stage.Tasted: 11 August 2017Tasted by: Prices:
