Naramata Bench, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaUnion is a 73/22/5 merlot, cabernet franc, and malbec blend that punches above its 13.6 percent alcohol but in a good way. The palate is juicy and fresh with a mix of bright acid and brambleberries streaked with dried herbs, roasted meat, and spices, all in a pleasing medium-weight style. The maceration runs 21 days and it is matured 23 percent new French oak barrels for 16 months.Tasted: 21 April 2023Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:BC | $59.00 | 750ml | winery online/direct, select private retailers |
