Naramata Bench, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaVivre la Vie always sells out early, and 2018 is no exception. This merlot opens with vibrant intense fruit that is more lean than plush, more spicy than soft, with elevated flavours of dark plums, blueberries, Bing cherries and cloves. Well-structured, it needs a bit of protein at the moment to smooth out the edges, but this is a solid effort with no smoke effect that I can detect.Tasted: 19 October 2021Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:
