Township 7 Merlot 2016
Oliver, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaI wasn’t expecting such a big wine in 2016 but this is, well big. The nose is savoury and spicy with notes of resin, dark chocolate and black fruit. The texture/tannins continue to improve at Township 7 making it far more palatable at this stage and given the balance it should age well too. The attack is mouth-filling but supple with spicy black cherries and plums and an aromatic tobacco scented finish. Super youthful at this point so age three to five years or serve with grilled meats. Most of the power fruit comes off the North Oliver Bench at Blue Terrace Vineyard with lesser amounts for finesse from the Front Yard Vineyard on the Naramata Bench.
