Church & State Wines Meritage 2018

Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaA 75/15/10 blend of merlot, cabernet franc, and cabernet sauvignon, this shows stewed, smoky dark fruits with balanced oak coming from 12 months in French barriques (20% new). The evident fruit ripeness carries through to the palate, with a warming 14.5% abv. The firm, sinewy tannins still need some time to resolve, but the level of smoke suggests this is best for short-term consumption, with a smoky astringency to the finish. It should pair nicely with charcoal grilled flank steak.Tasted: 06 August 2021Tasted by: Geoffrey Moss MWPrices:
