Pentâge Winery Merlot Dirty Dozen Vineyard 2018

Skaha Bench, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaPentâge Winery is a family-owned operation on 14.1 hectares overlooking Skaha Lake in Penticton. Mid-valley merlot has a lovey red character led by red currants/red plum aromas that spill across the palate and a strong undercurrent of spice with hints of expresso and cocoa dust. The 25 percent new oak is prevalent but not dominant. It is more severe than charming at this point and suggests it would be perfect with another three to five years in the bottle.Tasted: 02 September 2022Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:
