Lunessence Merlot 2019
Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaThe Lunessence Merlot is aged in a mix of French and American oak for 14 months, but only 15 percent is new. The nose is ripe, the attack spicy and full-bodied with black cherry, black plum, vanilla, and a small amount of smoke and toast. The tannins are firm and round, adding more charm. Think beef tacos, hamburgers, or grilled flank steak. Drink or hold; there is no rush to open this bottle.Tasted: 07 April 2022Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:BC | $32.99 | 750ml | winery online/direct, select private retailers, restaurants |
