Painted Rock Merlot 2014

Skaha Bench, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaFrom their estate Skaha vineyard, this high test (15.3 percent) merlot spent 18 months in French oak (30 percent new) French oak. Ripe black cherry and raspberry jam leads this full wine, with ample, gritty tannins and a lingering bay leaf, pencil shaving, black liquorice / medicinal cherry note. Hidden and a bit blocky at this time, though would work with / for warming and classic beef bourguignon.Tasted: 17 December 2017Tasted by: Prices:
