Fort Berens Meritage 2021
Osoyoos, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaThis year's Fort Berens Meritage blends 64% merlot, 19% cabernet sauvignon, and 17% cabernet franc, from Osoyoos-sourced grapes. After destemming and 4 days cold soak, each variety was fermented and aged in oak barrels for 15 months prior to the final blend. This is super smokey up front, infiltrating the ripe black cherry, blackberry, and cola with a smouldering note that persists through the finish. Acidity is bright, and tannins are furry through a warming finish, encouraging pairing this with a hearty stew now.Tasted: 20 December 2023Tasted by: Prices:| BC | $31.99 | 750ml | winery online/direct, select private retailers, grocery |
