Nostalgia Meritage 2018
Canada2018 Nostalgia Meritage is a 51/21/14/11/3 mix of merlot, cabernet sauvignon, cabernet franc, malbec, and petit verdot. A south Okanagan red blend is taken for granted these days, nearly three decades after the first red grapes went into the ground to a very skeptical audience. However, Nostalgia is a reboot of the old Oliver Twist property just southeast of downtown Oliver and this Meritage is a pleasant surprise. Look for soft, rich black fruit with tarry, smoky tobacco notes and dry tannins. It is young and needs a bit of ageing or at the very least decanting before serving, but the is some promise of better things to come from this property.Tasted: 15 July 2021Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:BC | $37.99 | 750ml | winery online/direct |
