Da Silva Merlot 2017
Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaFrom Blenheim Hill Vineyard and Lazy Dog Vineyard in Penticton, this is a full-throttle merlot, amped by 36 months in barrel (split between amply toasted American and French). Thick and potent on the palate, with wood spice, cedar stave ruling, and cassis, blackberry, dark soil, espresso flushing out the rest. Tannins are big though smoothed through to the toasted spice finish. A merlot for big cab lovers, perhaps, and one to trot out now with grilled lamb or beef.Tasted: 16 September 2021Tasted by: Prices:| BC | $35.00 | 750ml | winery online/direct, select private retailers |
