Nostalgia Meritage 2020

Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaA blend of 45% merlot, 35% cabernet sauvignon, 10% cabernet franc, 5% petit verdot, and 5% malbec, Nostalgia’s 2020 Meritage is crafted from grapes sourced from various vineyards in Oliver and Osoyoos. This flagship wine combines a Bordeaux blend's classic green herbal notes with a rich core of dark fruit, including black currant and dark plum, baking spices and savoury undertones. The oak, 16 months in predominantly French oak barriques (a third new), subtly frames the palate without overwhelming it. The tannins are polished, and the crisp acidity carries through to a long, lingering finish—a refined and exemplary Meritage.Tasted: 16 September 2024Tasted by: HJ ChaPrices:
