Phantom Creek Estates Merlot 2018
Osoyoos, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaThe Estate Merlot is made with a selection of blocks from the Black Sage and Golden Mile Bench. In 2018 it opened with violet notes and rich dark plums, all covered in a fragrant mist of vanilla and spice. The attack is fruity with elegant textures and long, layered, savoury flavours throughout the finish. The wine will have little problem ageing through 2028 and beyond, and will only get better. Classy. The wine is aged 18 months in 36 percent new French oak. My advice is to lay some away for seven to ten years and then pat yourself on the back.Tasted: 30 July 2021Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:| BC | $42.00 | 750ml | winery online/direct |
