Synchromesh Turtle Rock Farms Merlot 2016

Naramata Bench, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaFrom a single vineyard on a granite / gravel base above the Naramata Bench, this barrel-selected merlot is plump and rich with ripe black plum, inky dark cherry, black liquorice, dark chocolate, on a deep, rich palate. Though hedonistic for Alan, the acidity is granite-brightened, and tannins are soft and leathery, leading to a warming, espresso and savoury spiced cake finish. Drink this heavyweight merlot now, ideally with grilled ribs, or wait a few years in the cellar.Tasted: 19 June 2020Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:
