Bottega Merlot 2014
Naramata Bench, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaBottega is a new label from winemaker Daniel Bontorin, the man behind the Seven Direction rosés. The merlot fruit comes of the certified organic Kozier Vineyard on the Naramata Bench. The '14 is dense and weighty with a lifted fruit nose and palate. At this point, it needs decanting and a piece of rare beef to take you past the early signs of volatility that dry out the long peppery, warm finish.Tasted: 18 April 2019Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:| BC | $38.99 | 750ml | winery direct, private wine shops |
