Bartier Bros. Merlot Cerqueira Vineyard 2022
Oliver, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaFrom the Black Sage Terrace's lauded Cerqueira Vineyard, this was fermented in stainless before heading to neutral French 225L oak for 15 months. Black plum, cassis, and smoked stone rule the palate, with finely sticky tannins guiding this to an abrupt, snappy finish. Crack into this now, with grilled kabobs or ribs.Tasted: 13 August 2024Tasted by: Prices:BC | $25.99 | 750ml | winery online/direct, select private retailers, restaurants |
