Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaIn 2020, The Goal is a 56/44 mix of merlot and cabernet franc aged for 16 months in 225 L neutral French barrels. With no noticeable oak, the pure flavours of black plums, dark berries, and black cherries are free to express themselves throughout this red blend's soft, lush textures. The tannins are barely noticeable at this point and quickly recede into a spicy back end. Round and ready, this can be served with just about anything off the grill, from chicken to beef or grilled vegetables. It would be just the right wine for a medium-aged Brie as well.Tasted: 06 August 2022Tasted by: Prices:
