Osoyoos, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaMer'r'iym White has to be one of the best Canadian white wines I tasted this year, and it was equally acknowledged at the National Wine Awards of Canada too. The blend is 62/33 sauvignon blanc / semillon, and it's as bright and fresh as they come. The attack has a beautiful floral, herbal quality with bright acidity and crispness balanced by a long, creamy, luxurious texture. The semillon is barrel-fermented in new oak, but this merely tempers the electric sauvignon fruit that gives this wine its life. You can age this, but frankly, I'm tempted to drink it now while it is fresh and delicious.Tasted: 21 November 2019Tasted by: Prices:
Osoyoos, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaGive credit to the farming and winemaking team for this handsome White Meritage that impressed me in a blind flight at the National Wine Awards of Canada finals. The entire 6-wine flight was uniformly high-quality, but I loved the energy and drive of this blend of 62% Sauvignon Blanc and 33% Semillon. I noted a clear BC character with pungent botanicals, focused acidity, and a gorgeous, creamy texture. The Semillon was barrel-fermented in new French barrels, but melded happily into the unoaked Sauvignon, not for a moment obscuring the gooseberry, lively citrus, beeswax and honeycomb complexity. A well-made food wine for your next dinner of grilled chicken with salsa verde.Tasted: 09 October 2019Tasted by: Prices:
