Ruby Blues Cabernet Merlot 2022
Naramata Bench, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaThis mid-valley red blend is made with grapes from a quartet of vineyards located north to south on the Naramata Bench. The 2022 growing season was good, and obtaining phenolic ripeness was not a problem mid-valley. The Cabernet Merlot is a blend of two cabs, 37.5% cabernet sauvignon and 37.5% cabernet franc, with 25% merlot. The nose is aromatic, offering ripe black and blue fruit, with a touch of desert scrub and cedar. The wine is clean and fresh, with a medium to full-bodied weight on the palate, ripe plum, and jammy blackcurrant. The finish is long and persistent, with some sticky tannins yet to be dispersed.Tasted: 30 November 2024Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:| BC | $47.90 | 750ml | winery online/direct, select private retailers |
