Bottega Merlot 2015
Naramata Bench, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaRetasted a year and a half down the road and this certified organic merlot grown at Kozier Vineyard on the Naramata Bench is looking good. The fruit purity is poking through the oak and richness of texture that reflects its clay-based soils, and its year in new French oak. It’s hedonistic and ready to drink. The fruit is black and savoury with streaks of licorice, pepper and sagebrush. Steak anyone?Tasted: 18 April 2019Tasted by: Prices:BC | $47.99 | 750ml | winery direct, private wine shops |
