Fort Berens Meritage 2021
Osoyoos, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaThe 2021 Meritage is a 64/19/17 blend of merlot, cabernet sauvignon, and cabernet franc, all from Osoyoos. The nose is a smouldering, smoky affair that penetrates most of the red and black fruits on the mid-palate. The texture and bright acidity are the highlights of what is a bitter, smoky effort that will only get worse with time. Better luck next year.Tasted: 07 November 2023Tasted by: Prices:BC | $31.99 | 750ml | winery online/direct, select private retailers, grocery |
