Da Silva Merlot 2017
Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaFrom two Penticton mid-valley sites, Blenheim Hill Vineyard and Lazy Dog Vineyard, this merlot surprisingly rich, although three full years in French and American oak has added a layer of weight and vanilla to the mix. The attack is warm and round with chocolate cassis and coffee, and an earthy, spicy finish. The tannins are tamed, and it's ready to drink. Try this with roasted meats or even turkey, or let it age through 2025.Tasted: 18 August 2021Tasted by: Prices:BC | $35.00 | 750ml | winery online/direct, select private retailers |
