Mayhem Cabernet Merlot 2020

Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaFrom 3 southern Okanagan vineyards, this 2020 blends 89% merlot with 11% cabernet franc. Both were destemmed and fermented in stainless, before resting for 5 months in French barrels (2nd use) before the blend. Once united, the wine rested an additional 6 months in barrel. It was bottled unfined and unfiltered. Soft black cherry, dusky blackberry is lit with an easy tart acidity, and framed with lightly furry tannins. This youthful wine will benefit from food now.Tasted: 09 February 2022Tasted by: Prices:
