Hester Creek Terra Unica Old Vines Merlot 2015
Golden Mile Bench, Oliver, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaThe Old Vines Merlot is allocated to HC Bench Club members. First planted in 1968, the merlot vines of Italian descent are sourced from Block 13 in the middle of the estate. There is no pressing, leaving only free-run juice eventually aged in three, used, 225-litre French and American oak barriques. There is some old vine concentration here with a mix of earthy/herbal cherry aromas, rich soft round textures and more black cherry fruit wrapped in savoury Okanagan sagebrush through the finish. Perfect for grilled lamb chops or Italian sausages and pasta.Tasted: 23 April 2018Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:| BC | $32.95 | 750ml | Bench Club Members only |
