Naramata Bench, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaIn 2016 I saw the finesse I have been craving coming to this merlot. Love the vintage and the acidity that lifts the fruit and lightens the load from the front to the back. It’s still rich and full-bodied, but the balance and freshness will serve it well five years down the road. In the meantime, enjoy the blue fruit, black cherries, and the glossy Naramata Bench tannins.
