Hillside Merlot - Cabernet Franc 2015
Naramata Bench, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaWith so many giant red blends, it is a pleasure to mull this wine over on your palate and revel in its freshness and vitality. I would describe it as a loose bunch experience rather than a tight bunch affair, although it has nothing to do with their actual bunch character. Merlot and cabernet franc is a masterful blend of Naramata fruit, the only kind used at Hillside. Plums, cranberries, blueberries and umami all come together with some prominent tannin to give it a longer life. Balanced already, this is bargain.
