Bench 1775 Cabernet Sauvignon Merlot 2014
Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaThis is delicious stuff. There is structure from the cabernet sauvignon and a lot of juicy, fresh, round, easy-sipping merlot spiced with a touch of syrah. The entry is all dark cherry fruit with a savoury undercurrent. The gentle fruit grows at the east-facing, Oxbow Vineyard in Osoyoos boasting some sagebrush, notes of meat, more cherries and a wisp of tobacco. More red fruit than black, this is for drinking now through the midterm. This style really benefits from spending a year in two-year-old wood adding some beneficial oxidation and zero new oak.
