Frind Estate Premier Merlot 2020
British Columbia, Canada2020 is a mix of Similkameen and Okanagan fruit with a modest four months of ageing in French oak barriques. Like last year, the front end is charming, offering ripe mocha cherry that spills onto the palate where black raspberry and coffee run through a more savoury finish. The finish is shorter than I would like it to be, but the wine is ready to drink now, and I think you will enjoy it this summer around the barbecue. A little more time in wood will likely lift this wine into another league.Tasted: 22 February 2022Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:| BC | $32.99 | 750ml | winery online/direct, select private retailers |
